Hi, I'm Jennifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping teens and adults navigate life's challenges with confidence and hope. I provide a warm, collaborative, and solution-focused approach, using evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, and Sand Tray therapy. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and grounded environment.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. Rather than focusing only on your struggles, I want to understand you as a whole person such as your strengths, experiences, values, and goals. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and create a plan together that feels comfortable, supportive, and tailored to your needs.
I bring warmth, compassion, and a calm, grounded presence to every session. My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and tailored to your unique needs. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported while also offering thoughtful guidance, practical tools, and gentle accountability. I believe meaningful change happens through trust, connection, and working together to build on your strengths and move toward your goals.
I enjoy working with clients who are ready to actively engage in the therapy process. If you come to sessions with goals, curiosity, and a willingness to explore new perspectives, we'll likely be a great fit. Together, we'll build on your existing strengths, learn practical skills, and create meaningful steps toward the changes you want to make. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I value working as a team to help you reach your goals.
Our early relationships can shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. Attachment-focused therapy helps you understand these patterns, strengthen relationships, and develop a greater sense of safety and trust.
CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to life's challenges.
DBT teaches practical skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, improve relationships, and stay present in the moment. It's especially helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.
EMDR helps the brain process difficult or distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming. Many people find it helps reduce the emotional impact of the past, allowing them to move forward with greater confidence and peace.
Sand Tray therapy offers a creative, hands-on way to express thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to put into words. Using miniature figures in a tray of sand can lead to deeper understanding, healing, and personal growth.
