About me

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Professional Certified Coach with 15 years of combined experience across mental health, leadership development, and personal growth. I provide psychotherapy to adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and significant life transitions. My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatments—particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—and integrates practical strategies that promote clarity, confidence, and lasting change. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a transition, or looking for practical tools to cope with anxiety or stress, therapy with me will offer structure, support, and meaningful progress. I’ll help you untangle what feels complicated so you can move forward with greater ease and confidence.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our work begins with understanding what’s bringing you to therapy. In our first session, we’ll explore your symptoms, current stressors, and therapy goals. Together, we’ll develop a plan that’s focused, structured, and personalized to support your progress. I provide a calm, collaborative space where you can explore challenges without judgment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often tell me they appreciate my clear, focused style and my ability to quickly identify patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I’m especially skilled at helping clients manage anxious thoughts, set healthy boundaries, and move from self-doubt into more empowered decision-making.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with high-functioning individuals who may appear to be managing well on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Many of my clients are navigating professional or personal crossroads and are ready for meaningful, sustainable change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Sometimes the biggest shifts come from how we talk to ourselves. I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and learn how to reframe them into something more accurate, compassionate, and empowering. This method offers clear, evidence-based tools for managing anxiety, stress, and self-doubt—especially during transitions, high-pressure periods, or when you’re feeling stuck.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness offers a gentle but powerful way to create more space in your thoughts and reactions. I integrate mindfulness into therapy to help you slow down, tune into your inner experience, and respond to life with more calm and clarity. Whether you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive, mindfulness tools can help you feel more grounded and present in your day-to-day life.

Strength-Based

You carry more strength than you may realize—even if it feels hard to access right now. In therapy, we’ll work to identify and amplify your existing resilience, core values, and lived wisdom. A strengths-based approach supports emotional well-being by fostering self-efficacy, reinforcing adaptive coping skills, and helping you navigate challenges with greater confidence. Rather than focusing solely on what’s wrong, we’ll build on what’s already working to promote a stronger sense of agency and sustainable progress.

Jennifer is so warm and inviting - empathy flows from her and creates a safe space for others to open up. She makes connections quickly and helps put pieces together that seemed totally disconnected. She made me feel seen, heard, and vauled by the end of our first session together. At the same time, she let me set the pace of what I wanted to open up about and when. I appreciate her for that.

Jennifer has an incredible way of hearing what you're saying (or trying to say) and reiterating it back in a constructive manner that unlocks ideas and insights I had never seen in myself. She is warm yet rooting her approach in frameworks and solutions that will propel me forward.
