Preferred Name: Jenn
About Me
Since 2020, Jennifer has worked in community mental health and has experience working with adolescents, couples and adults. Jennifer is a fierce advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and is passionate about the unique challenges facing this population. Her area of expertise includes trauma informed psychotherapy, working with PTSD symptoms and triggers stemming either from childhood events to a recent event as an adult. Jennifer also has experience working with anxiety, depression, workplace stressors, grief and loss. She also works closely with individuals and families exploring sexual orientation, gender identity and the coming out process. Jennifer creates a calm and safe atmosphere with each of her clients and pulls from a number of modalities such as EMDRIA approved training in EMDR, trauma informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory and Somatic Experiencing and Polyvagal Theory. Jennifer believes that the body and mind are connected, and when a person experiences challenges at school or work, or worse, a traumatic event, this creates a rippling effect through the body. Allowing each client to connect with their body allows for a deeper holistic therapeutic process.
