She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and relationships.

Background and approach
Jennifer helps clients learn tools for managing stress, anger, and mood swings so they can feel more in control day to day. Her work often addresses complicated life events like grief, trauma, and major transitions. She also supports people navigating issues around gender identity, intimacy, and parenting concerns.
ADHD is included among the areas she helps people with, alongside mood and addictive behaviors. Jennifer combines several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful patterns.
Client-centered and narrative approaches help people tell their story and find new meaning. Clients can expect an approach that values honesty, respect, and gradual progress. Conversations are meant to be practical and real, not full of jargon.
Her goal is to help people build clearer routines, stronger communication, and more reliable coping strategies.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing the ups and downs of life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms and change behavior. It often helps with mood, stress, and addiction-related habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that respects the client's pace and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. These options let people keep therapy going around busy schedules and changing needs.
