About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 8 years experience working in the mental health field providing individual and group therapy. My specialty is in working with self-esteem issues, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and spiritual crisis (spiritual awakening, shadow work, “dark night of the soul”). I operate from a humanistic theoretical framework; which just means, that I focus on the Individual as a whole and focus on existing positive strengths and behaviors.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I meet you where you are at and welcome you without judgment. I believe strongly in the therapeutic relationship and I strive to co-create with you a healing space where you can feel safe to be you.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I take an integrative holistic approach with clients incorporating emotional, mental, physical, and spirituality. I am a certified Karuna Reiki Master and incorporate energy therapy into my approach. My purpose is to be a resource; a tool to assist you with becoming empowered and accountable to make positive changes and healthy choices in your life.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

It can be very difficult navigating the everyday external and internal struggles of being human while also remembering that we are a multidimensional being. If you feel called to work with me, please contact me.

Jennifer was absolutely AMAZING! I can’t wait to have another therapy session with her. She was extremely attentive, intelligent and knew how to make me feel at ease.
