About me
Hi, I'm Jennifer
Scientist turned counselor - a kind and strategic approach to your wellness
Bottomed out. I’ve been there – lonely, confused, hopeless, powerless, and exhausted. Dysfunctional coping patterns, codependency, and anxiety were keeping me overwhelmed and stuck for years. I know from experience, there is a way up and forward.
My personal healing and growth journey is a story of learning, connection, courage, and self-compassion. As a professional, I bring these vital things with me into the counseling room. Tapping into the truth in your story and the power of core emotions can be fundamental in the process of personal growth and change. I provide a safe and honoring place with integrity and compassion for my clients to achieve their wellness goals.
When not at the office, I love being outside in nature and traveling. My hobbies include camping, snapping photos, scrapbooking, and reading. I enjoy good food, deep friendships, and my Yorkie fur baby. I love to laugh and find healing in humor.
There is hope for you too.

We are all human and need support from time to time.
I always aim to create a warm and welcoming environment for all my clients. From my experience, it’s this genuine and trusting connection that helps people feel safe and confident enough to embrace change.
I’m here to help you as a partner on your journey! I understand how tough certain challenges can be because I’ve faced similar situations myself. Together, we can work through things with empathy and compassion, wherever you may be in your life and faith journey.
not only in the
ability to persist,
