About Jennifer

She uses a warm, interactive style and listens carefully so people feel heard and treated with dignity and respect. Her work focuses on helping people manage thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way of daily life.
Jennifer centers therapy on each person’s goals. She follows a client-centered approach that treats people as the experts on their own lives. From that starting point she draws on several methods to build a plan that fits each person’s needs.
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career stress, and chronic illness or caregiving challenges.
Her practice aims to help people develop practical skills and everyday routines that make life easier. She encourages small, steady steps toward goals and stays focused on what will work in real life. If someone is ready to make a change, she helps them plan and move forward.

She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try practical strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Ask which formats are offered and how scheduling works so sessions fit into your routine.
