About me

I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, etc. Learning distress tolerance skills is a way to improve the quality of life and allows for a person to be empowered. I specialize in CBT, DBT, PCT, and various other therapeutic modalities. It is my goal to create a safe place for my clients to express their thoughts and feelings, while assisting in pushing forward.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is considered the gold standard for therapy and it is one that I use most often. In addition to CBT, I am skilled at using Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Behavior Therapy and many others. I assist clients in recognizing how their thoughts, feelings, and emotions influence their actions. We will work collaboratively in finding ways to manage emotions during difficult times.

Each session with Jennifer feels like a safe space. She truly listens without judgment, making it easy to open up. Her insights are always thoughtful and helpful, providing me with valuable things to reflect on between sessions. I always leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer perspective. Her guidance has been instrumental in my growth, and I genuinely look forward to each meeting. Highly recommend!

I really appreciate her perspectives and her challenging questions that forced me to understand why my life is in the condition it is in and what I can do about it. She always attempts to understand my reasoning, and reveals to me a perspective that I haven’t yet thought of.
