Jennifer Elaine Kepke, LPC
About Me
I specialize in complex and childhood trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse recovery, dissociative disorders, anxiety, and depression. I have practiced for seven years after spending 26 years in public education as a teacher. I am married with two children, three cats, and three dogs (two rescues). I am active and love the outdoors, especially cycling, running, and yoga. I use an integrative approach to therapy, including EMDR and other therapeutic techniques. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor between the client/patient and the practitioner; together, we are working for the best possible outcome for the client/patient. I also work to be culturally competent and strive to understand my clients from all cultures and backgrounds. We work together, and I am a lifelong learner of humanity.
