Hi, I'm Jennifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 10 years of experience in the field of social work and behavioral health. I truly enjoy what I do and feel honored to support individuals through life's challenges. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where my clients feel heard, understood and empowered. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Whatever brings you here, taking the first step on your therapeutic journey is a courageous one.
Whatever brought you to this point, my hope is that therapy becomes a meaningful and transformative experience. Together, we will harness internal strengths, enhance coping skills, define methods for self-care, and repair meaningful connections. Let's start this journey together!
One of the strongest aspects is providing a collaborative therapeutic approach. I use evidenced-based modalities that provide practical structured tools that clients can apply in real life. My approach provides a balance between insight and action.
I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, work stress, relationship issues, addiction and complex family dynamics. I'm committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your challenges.

I utilize cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors that contribute to psychological distress. In my clinical work, I guide clients in recognizing cognitive distortions, developing healthier thinking patterns, and implementing practical behavior strategies to improve functioning and emotion regulation. I incorporate CBT interventions such as cognitive restructuring, behavior activation, thought monitoring, and skills training to support clients dealing with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions and relational challenges.
I incorporate ACT in my clinical work to help clients develop psychological flexibility and improve their relationship with difficult though patterns. Through ACT, I support clients in learning to accept internal experiences rather than avoid them, while identifying personal values that guide meaningful behvaior change. In treatment, I utilize techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive defusion and acceptance strategies to help clients reduce avoidance and engage in value-driven actions.
