I have lived in Alaska for 25 plus years and cannot think of a better place to call home. My professional experiences have included a wide range of clients over many settings and consider myself (through client feedback) to be well-rounded in how I approach therapy. I want to make the most of every session for you and help you navigate life on your terms.
I will ask you to share, in your own words, what brings you to therapy. If you struggle to articulate, at first (after all, you do not know me, yet!), I will ask questions to help you share your experience. I am here to listen and support you to understand more about yourself; to offer you a judgment free zone to say the things you need to say! We all have our challenges in life, and no one is free from personal struggle.
My approach is eclectic (meaning I draw from a variety of sources) and will always seek to understand your unique situation and how you view your circumstances. I am very good at recognizing patterns in family dynamics, work situations and friend groups and how mental health is affected. My care is trauma informed and I understand how childhood and past trauma, in all its forms, affects the present. I will support you as you work toward integration for a better present and future.
I do not have an ideal client! The only ideal I have is any person who wants to learn and reflect on themselves and the changes they want in their lives. A person who is open to feedback and willing to guide me toward what they want and hope to gain in the therapy experience. I prefer someone who can hear the difficult things and is open to change in their lives - with the recognition that difficult topics are broached with respect and care and not to overwhelm.

Jennifer has a very calming presence. She has taken her time to figure out what it is I need from our time together and validates me in times when I am unsure. I have benefitted so much from our time together and always walk away with a new tool to use or perspective that offers me a glimmer of hope
