A Bit About Therapy

My ideal clients are LGBTQI, gender variances, alcohol and addiction, young adults and adults, deal with realities of love whomever that light might shine. I enjoy working with couples; you didn't get the manual with your relationship but it's not too late. I also love working with individuals on the path to spiritual awakening.

My specialty modalities are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy because it is proven by replicable studies to work and not much else does; Acceptance Commitment Therapy (Jungian) because the way we tell our stories is the way we live our lives; and Mindfulness, here and now. I am a Life Coach. I am at peace with myself and the world.

I season my work with humor, unconditional positive regard, and extraordinary insight.

I am fluent in the language of soul.

Testimonials from Previous Clients

Before starting therapy with Jennifer I was scared to tell my story. I was entrenched in shame and judgement in my own mind. My most striking first impression of Jennifer was her nonjudgemental and enthusiastic approach to helping me. She guided me with tools and skill, but also allowed me to be myself. I worked hard in therapy and my life is completely different than it was when I started almost two years ago. I didn't have the knowledge or skill to do that on my own. I leave therapy with every aspect of my life transformed for the better, and a list of tools to move forward with. I am forever greatful.
