Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I use a client-centered approach to therapy to treat a variety of interpersonal problems and mental health disorders.

My focus

I am experienced in working with individuals who struggle with mild, moderate, and severe mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I am experienced in providing couples counseling and other interpersonal and life problems. I provide counseling from a Christian perspective upon request.

My approach

I most commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat client issues. I incorporate elements from various approaches to help clients achieve their goals, such as solution-focused therapy or Gottman couples interventions.

My communication style

I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental, and welcoming atmosphere in which clients can feel safe sharing whatever is on their minds.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to helping people, and I love Psychology. When it was time for a career change, I chose to become a therapist so that I could help others become who they are meant to be.

My goals for you

Once we understand the problem, we will work together to develop goals and track your progress. My approach to goal setting with clients is about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together.

Our first session

During the first session, we will get to know each other. I will seek to understand the problem that has brought you into treatment, including the history of how the problem began and the contributing factors.
