About Me
Welcome. I'm Jennifer, a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly two decades of experience supporting adults seeking meaningful change, clarity, and relief from emotional pain. My style is intuitive, collaborative, and gently direct — I help you identify what's not working and support you in creating space for what truly matters.
Clients often seek me out when they feel overwhelmed by emotion, disconnected from themselves, or caught in recurring emotional and relational cycles. I work with Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) and Empaths, individuals recovering from trauma, codependent dynamics, anxiety, grief, and those navigating work/life stress and life transitions. I also have a deep interest in working with people living with chronic or invisible illnesses — I understand the emotional toll of managing long-term health conditions, and I aim to support clients in honoring their limitations without losing sight of meaning, identity, or agency.
My approach is integrative, drawing from Brainspotting, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, somatic awareness, mindfulness, DBT, Emotional Freedom Technique, Compassion Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and Humanistic approaches. I am naturally inclined toward body-oriented and mindfulness practices, and I tailor our work to your unique needs and nervous system.
Therapy, in my view, is not about fixing you — because you are not broken. It's about creating space to hear your truth, unburden old patterns, and grow into the life you want to live.
I bring lived experience to this work, including my own journey with chronic illness and the ongoing practice of learning to live mindfully. This informs my presence with clients: not only clinical knowledge, but deep empathy and patience for what it means to live with ongoing physical and emotional challenges.
Beyond the therapy room, I have spent years exploring embodied and energy-based healing — as a certified yoga instructor, Nia instructor, Healing Touch Level III practitioner, and Reiki Master. I have also had the privilege of facilitating Sunday Mindful Movement and Dance Experiences for six years, curating music and holding space for embodied expression in community. These experiences are woven into how I understand healing — not as something that happens only in the mind, but through the whole person.
I love exploring the Enneagram and weave it into our work together when it feels useful. In my personal life, I find restoration in hiking, photography in nature, swimming, and time with dear friends and family.
If you're seeking a therapist who will meet you with warmth, intuition, honesty, and deep respect for your unfolding journey — I would be honored to work with you. My practice is inclusive and affirming of all identities and life experiences.
With you in the journey,
Jennifer
