About Jennifer
She uses a warm, engaged style and works with each person to set goals they find meaningful. Early sessions often focus on understanding current struggles and learning short-term skills to reduce immediate distress. Over time she adds strategies tailored to longer-term changes and improved self-confidence.
Jennifer draws on several evidence-based approaches to fit the situation. She often blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive strategies and emotion-focused work to address anxiety, depression, and relational problems. Her background includes experience in criminal justice, which informs work with law enforcement and career-related stress.
Clients can expect plain-spoken guidance, coaching-style encouragement, and tools for coping with anger, grief, addictions, and parenting challenges. She also has experience with personality disorder presentations and complex trauma, and offers support for intimacy-related issues and self-harm histories.
With 24 years in the field, Jennifer aims to be practical and involved while letting clients choose goals with her guidance. If someone wants calm, straightforward help and a therapist who listens deeply, she may be a good fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with depression, panic, and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can be helpful for intimacy issues and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest approaches and adjust them over time so the plan fits what you need.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the practice. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting so clients can practice skills and get feedback between sessions.
