She listens and is very sympathetic and if you are open to hear her advise and apply it to your life how ever you can it helps

I've had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer. I had never done any sort of therapy before and she was so kind and reassuring. I have some social anxiety and don't like talking to new people, but I didn't feel that way about talking to Jennifer, it felt like talking to a friend. I would definitely recommend her!

Jennifer is very good at listening and letting her clients find their own way, while offering insight and input when appropriate. She helped me a lot during a very difficult time and I found her to be very genuine and practical.

Jennifer has an absolute heart of gold! She is very kind and understanding, gentle and compassionate. She helped give voice to some of my dark experiences and offered various ways to process and re-frame those memories. I am truly grateful for my time spent with her.
