Now Accepting New Clients!
Jennifer is passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families to explore the unique stories and relationships that have shaped who they are. Her approach to counseling involves fostering self-awareness and insight, delving into underlying issues with curiosity and without judgment, and utilizing mindfulness techniques to promote emotional stability and increased resilience. Jennifer works holistically and collaboratively with clients, helping them to gain clarity of their thoughts, understand and process their emotions, and recognize their bodies’ physiological responses. She specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy and excels in helping couples navigate their cycle of relating in order to cultivate a stronger, emotional connection. Jennifer is also a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator for couples.
In her counseling practice, Jennifer establishes a safe, warm, and empathetic environment. She works with clients dealing with relational distress, cultural and cross-cultural issues, trauma, abuse, ministry work, life transitions, burnout, grief/loss, and more. She is particularly passionate about empowering people of color and those in multicultural and marginalized communities. Jennifer brings in experience from working in an in-patient mental health facility and offers counseling services in English and Greek.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest and shaped by her formative years in Austin, Texas, Jennifer’s journey led her from a career in the corporate world to a decade overseas in cross-cultural vocational ministry before she pursued her counseling degree. In her free time, Jennifer finds joy in gathering around the dinner table with her husband and friends, nurturing a collection of houseplants, going on lighthearted runs, and wandering through new neighborhoods.
