A word from Jennifer…

The most important part of my therapeutic process is the relationship I develop with my clients. It is my biggest priority to allow my clients to feel safe, supported, and secure enough to be themselves in the therapeutic environment.

I will walk hand in hand with you to fully appreciate your experiences and identity, and I will consider your unique, multidimensional story in helping you with your goals. You already possess skills to bring you closer to what you value and who you want to grow to be. I’ll help you to trust and tap into those skills.

Clients enjoy my authentic, warm, relatable, and direct approach. Together we will create goals that will implement change in leading a more meaningful life. I understand that at different times, my clients may need different types of intervention. Therapy is a collaborative process, and each individuals’ needs are different. Together we will discover the most effective and beneficial approach for your individualized care.

I provide therapy using various techniques with scientific evidence for proven effectiveness, including: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Existential Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person Centered, Mindfulness-based approaches, Emotions Focused Therapy (EFT), and more.

I have a certificate in The Effects of Child Maltreatment, which helps any individual understand how their biology, thoughts, and feelings tie together and how it impacts them in the present day. I’ve counseled individuals and groups, conducted career and college counseling seminars in high schools, and worked in a health psychology lab.

Prior to becoming a Psychotherapist, I lived in New York working in the corporate world. My background and understanding of this world helps my clients feel understood, safe, and connected to me while working together in finding meaning through a demanding workplace. In addition, I have grown up in the performing arts world (auditioning, performing, traveling), and auditioning and getting into college for Musical Theatre and Psychology. My background attracts clients who need someone who has lived, breathed, and understands this world. In addition to specializing in career changes and life transitions, I also work with high profile artists who struggle with exposure, fame, perfection, and the juggle of values (publicity vs. privacy) to help them reground themselves, find meaning, and manage / navigate the outside world that can feel overwhelming.
