My treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachment theory helps people understand how they connect with others in intimate relationships. Knowing your unique style can help increase self awareness, understand relationship patterns and discover which style may be your best match. With this modality we will explore the attachment you experienced with your parental figures to determine how you attach now.

Jennifer is truly a blessing for me. I met her through couples therapy and immediately enjoyed her counseling style, her conflict resolution, and her authenticity and allowing space to feel and understand specific emotions. I got extremely lucky that I found the right fit the first time around. Jennifer is caring, authentic, and takes time to learn about the person and how to best help them depending on the specific person. Jennifer is incredible at her job! 5 stars!!
