About me

I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in clinical mental health with experience in working with a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I also have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) which has been a useful tool in helping others not only cope with current concerns, but assist them in coping with future endeavors.

I believe in creating a strong, trusting, therapeutic environment where couples feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged. I use solution-focused techniques to assist couples in reaching goals and CBT techniques to help with concerns such as negative thought patterns. Every couple is different and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that tailors to your needs.

I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside and non-judgmental assistance is what couples need to get back on track or on a better track. You can do it!

I haven't had a lot of time with Jennifer but she has made me super comfortable in all the situations that I have presented to her. I never feel like I am being told what to do.. she always presents some options and allows me to make my own decisions and gives me tools to cope with the decisions I haven't quite figured out yet.

This was my husbands and I second couples therapy attempt. Granted the situation was very different, but I felt so much more comfortable speaking with her than I did with our previous therapist. She was able to help provide us with the tools we needed to stop deflecting and start reflecting on us. My husband and I have been together since middle school, but we’ve grown and changed together not realizing how difficult it was becoming to speak our minds when it was really important. Jennifer listened and helped us work on the importance of communication in all areas of our relationship - intimacy to small everyday arguments. She was very professional about hearing our intimacy road blocks and guiding us out of those self destructive behaviors. I highly recommend working with Jennifer. You’ll love her.

Jennifer has been, hands down, the best therapist I have ever worked with. I was skeptical about using this platform for couples therapy but Jennifer made it feel like we were right there in the office with her (minus the internet running slow a couple of times). She gave me and my partner tools to help us as we confront the ups and downs that all relationships have and gave us the positive feedback that we needed to hear. She let us know we're not going to get this right 100% of the time and that's okay. She was exactly what my partner and I needed at that exact point in our relationship and I'm grateful that we were able to have her as our therapist.

Jennifer is a fantastic counselor. My partner (he/him) and I (he/him) throughly enjoyed our time with her. Our sessions allowed us to move past difficult moments in our relationship. The insights, tools, frameworks, and empathy that we learned from her make me feel confident in continuing to resolve conflict and build a stronger relationship outside of counseling. She was kind, funny, insightful and truly helpful. Not only has what we learned allowed us to continually improve our romantic relationship but also our relationships with others. Thank you Jennifer.

My husband and I had counseling with Jennifer online which was really convenient for us. She listened to our Problems issues and helped us to better communicate with each other using tools and methods she taught us. This was our first attempt at counseling and found Jennifer very helpful. We highly recommend her.

Jennifer was a lifesaver in our marriage! She helped us with many things including family drama, marital issues, and gave us lots of information and guidance on our kids. She helped us through personal issues individually and together.

Jen was amazing. My wife and I were really unsure about trying counseling because we were worried about it feeling awkward or unnatural or forced or that it just wouldn't be "for us." We experienced NONE of that with Jen. She was always positive and made the conversation feel productive yet natural. She was everything we were hoping for in a counselor and couldn't be more appreciative of her and the impact she's had on our relationship.

Jennifer has been great! She does such a great job listening to both my husband and me, congratulates us on any accomplishments and has helped us to realize some negative patterns we've been in. It's going to take some work, but shes giving us the right tools to move our relationship forward through past resentments and our own stubbornness! Very happy we found her!
