LMHC, 25 years of experience
I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience working with diverse individuals in the community, private practice, and residential substance abuse treatment. Never in a million years did I ever think providing counseling to individuals, couples, families, and groups, would be the career to captivate my heart….but it is! My specialties are working with clients who may be suffering from traumatic incidents, substance abuse, various forms of anxiety (PTSD, stress disorders), depression, self-esteem, and gender identity. Making the decision to receive any form of mental health counseling can be taxing, however, the results are often positive and rewarding. Learning to face your fears in a healthy and appropriate manner is a sign of growth and maturity. It is not an easy task. You will cry, laugh, and maybe feel a little uncomfortable at times. This is just the therapeutic process working to make you emotionally stronger. *Please note that my preference for treatment sessions are individual and group therapy. However, I do provide a limited number of couples or family therapy sessions for special circumstances.
Prior to your first session, you will be sent forms to complete and a link for your therapy session. During your first session, you will be asked questions to gain information about your background and reasons for reaching out for services with us. This is called an intake or biopsychosocial evaluation. You will also develop a list of goals so that you can begin planning your treatment. This is called a treatment plan. At the end of your session, you might be given "homework" to complete before your next session. Homework tools are useful and come in a variety ways such as videos, books, journaling, breathing exercises, worksheets, and so forth.
My main strength is empathy. When I am in a session with clients, feeling what you feel is very important. It helps me to be nonjudgmental. Because of this, delivering a service that is heartfelt is most important to me. I want my clients to feel, heard, understood, and most of all safe to tell me their innermost thoughts and feelings. Why? Because when you invite me into your mind, I want you to be comfortable with me being there.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Mrs. Williams. From the very beginning, she’s been incredibly genuine, compassionate, and easy to talk to. She creates a safe space where I feel heard, understood, and never judged. What sets her apart is how authentic she is, you can tell she truly cares. I would absolutely recommend.

Therapy can be daunting, but working with Ms. Jennifer, makes it feel natural. She has a rare ability to blend intelligence with compassion, offering guidance that feels both profound and practical. Five sessions in, and I already feel the positive shifts in my perspective. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful personal growth. She’s brilliant, down-to-earth, and makes therapy feel like a conversation with someone who truly gets you. -Thank you, Ms. Jennifer!

Ms. Jennifer is Awesome. I am so grateful for choosing such an amazing therapist. I am also looking forward to our future sessions.
I am trained in EMDR and have observed that most clients are able to lower their anxiety regarding traumas or the way they might view certain situations/events.
CBT is an awesome type of treatment which allows clients to challenge irrational thoughts. It works well with most clients. However, the client must also put in the work of practicing the techniques and doing homework.
DBT is my "go to" for increasing client's ability to express themselves appropriately, have conversations where they can express their feelings in a manner that is received by the other party in a positive manner. It also is a great type of therapy for teaching how to regulate emotions.
I often use Motivational Interviewing (MI) daily as a tool to motivate clients who are "stuck." It allows the client to work through mental blocks keeping them from moving forward.
