Meet Jennifer

"I’m here to support you as you navigate the challenges of parenting, offering a safe and understanding space where you can feel truly heard and empowered. Specializing in working with parents, I use evidence-based therapies like CBT and ACT to help you understand your own experiences, build emotional wisdom, and manage the challenges you face in daily life. Together, we’ll focus on developing the skills you need to understand and respond to your emotions, find clarity and direction, and ultimately enjoy your parenting journey!! As you learn to experience and regulate your own emotions, you’ll gain practical tools to guide your children in developing these same skills. My approach is all about creating lasting transformation—from feelings of anxiety and overwhelm to a place of calm and confidence, where you and your family can thrive!"

- Jennifer

I believe that everyone has within them their own internal compass. Each individual has the knowledge and information they need to chart the course that brings their life the most meaning and satisfaction. It's my job to help each individual access the wisdom they can find within them, through the experiences of their day to day life.

-Jennifer
