Now Accepting New Clients!
Jennifer is passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families to explore the unique circumstances that have shaped who they are, empowering them to move forward with insight and intentionality. She seeks to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where clients are genuinely heard, they are able to make sense of their story, and they can progress toward healing and positive change.
Jennifer counsels from a holistic, trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment theory and emotional connection. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based therapy for treating trauma. She specializes in Emotionally Focused Therapy and helps couples navigate their cycle of relating in order to cultivate a stronger, emotional connection. Jennifer is also a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator for couples.
Jennifer walks alongside clients dealing with complex trauma, abuse, relational distress, life transitions, ministry work, cultural and cross-cultural issues, burnout, grief/loss, and more. She is also experienced with supporting people of color and those in multicultural and marginalized communities. She brings in crisis stabilization care from her work 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, she 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.
