Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I work in mental health in both outpatient and inpatient settings. The focus of my practice has been to support folks experiencing anxiety, depression, and addiction in building healthy, adaptive coping mechanisms to increase their quality of life.

My focus

I have experience working with clients ranging from the ages of 10 to 92 years old. In my private practice, I am currently working with clients aged 18 years and older who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or substance use concerns.

My approach

My approach to therapy has been to focus on building a solid connection with my clients. Relationships are at the core of all human interaction, and without a solid connection, meaningful change is difficult to achieve. The technical aspects of my work are in the use of CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My communication style

The highest compliment I have ever received as a therapist is that I do not make my clients feel like they are sick. It is very important to me that the people I get the privilege of working with feel respected and unconditionally accepted for who they are.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a therapist was a second career for me. I chose to change my career because I wanted to be a part of people's lives in a meaningful way. There is nothing more inspiring to me than seeing someone find their belief in themselves again.

My goals for you

Given my background as a solution-focused therapist, goal setting with clients is something that we do at the outset of treatment. The goals are determined entirely by the person I am working with, who likes to see change in their life.

Our first session

In the first session, my goal will be to get to know the client and what they need to feel safe entering into a therapeutic relationship. We will also talk through the reasons they are seeking therapy and how they hope it will bring about positive change in their life.
