"I started seeing Jennifer when coming off of a broken engagement during a very challenging time in my life. Her sessions are so impactful and her words carry such meaning, I would leave the session with a new outlook, perspective and ways to change for the positive going forward. Jennifer has really helped me achieve the goal of becoming mentally strong again, and "living" on a daily basis. I have talked to other therapists before, and she by far has had the strongest and best impact on me. She gave me "tools" on how to engage in the world again, and also clarity on daily situations that came up...from dating to workplace interactions. She also recommended many helpful assignments outside of our sessions. I tried each method and always came back grateful for the recommendation and learning something new. She is absolutely terrific, and I am so grateful to have worked with her--I would not have gotten to this point without her insight, guidance and support."

"I know I expressed some of this in our last session, but I wanted to say again THANK YOU for all the guidance you have given me over the past year and a half. My life feels completely different and I am so much happier. Your expertise and kindness have really helped me. Thank you thank you!"

- Melissa C., 32

"Jennifer has an amazing ability to put others at ease. I would want to sit across from her and share my heart. She has a very comforting presence that comes from deep within; she is made for this work."

- Jessica Ellis, LMFT

"I did not have hesitations about wanting to pursue therapy. The group really helped me to grow and become aware of my needs. The most valuable part of the group for me has been how interactive it is—Completing the handouts as a group and discussing our thoughts and experiences has been very significant. The materials distributed throughout the group were extremely helpful. I would recommend the group to anyone who has experienced trauma or PTSD."

- Sam N., 36

"I feel this program unlocked doors for me. I didn't even realize how much I was dependent on substances until group. The most valuable part of the group for me has been the knowledge and skills I gained, and the ability to discuss them in a structured environment. This program really helped me to practice taking care of myself and setting a healthy routine."

- Sarah H., 27

"Jennifer is a wonderful Marriage and Family Therapist. She does exceptional work with couples in helping them communicate effectively and rebuild their relationship. I highly recommend her! "

- Liz Morrison, LCSW

"Jennifer is an intelligent, hardworking, and sensitive clinician who has been great to work with. We have shared many patients together, and I have been impressed by her caring nature and thoughtful conceptualization of cases. A shared patient of ours has greatly benefited from her individual therapy, as well as her direction in group therapy. Jennifer is very responsive and an excellent communicator and very easy to work with."

"Our work spanned several topics including communication, our physical intimacy, the in-laws/ holiday arrangements, and our changing needs. Having deep discussions about how our behavior has impacted each other has been very helpful. I feel much more connected and seen. Couples therapy really helped me to express my needs and communicate more clearly."
