About Jennifer
Jennifer spent many years providing mental health services in jail settings, working with people involved in the legal system. That background means she is used to direct, practical conversations and has experience with crisis intervention and suicide prevention. She also has experience supporting professionals in high-stress roles such as law enforcement, correctional officers, attorneys, and first responders.
Clients can expect sessions that are tailored to individual needs and comfort levels. Jennifer uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed methods to address problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, grief, and life transitions.
She tries to keep therapy collaborative and sometimes brings humor into the work when it fits. Her goal is to help people develop skills they can use between sessions and to work toward clearer goals at a realistic pace.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Jennifer guides a short assessment and helps set practical first steps so progress feels manageable from the start.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Jennifer commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people dealing with intense emotions or impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing one fixed style. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Session format options are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simple to continue work between appointments, practice skills in everyday settings, and maintain momentum during life transitions. Licensed professionals can help clients adapt tools from CBT and DBT for use in daily routines and stressful moments.
