Hello, my name is Jennifer.
I am a personable, bookish therapist with a passion for learning and a love for new adventures such as traipsing through jungles or starting both cello and piano lessons in my 40's. I have more planners, post-it’s, and habit trackers then I’ll ever need, and my growing book collection has raised the eyebrows of my wife more than a few times.
My Story
As a sensitive child growing up in a chaotic environment, and taking on way more responsibility than I was capable of, I know what it’s like to become a people-pleasing adult with a pervading sense that something is wrong with you. As a child, born at a time when girl's neurodiversity was mislabeled with things like being "too sensitive or shy", I also know the relief of discovering there was nothing actually "wrong" to begin with. Despite these early challenges, I have gone on to create a fulfilling life for myself and I absolutely love helping others do the same. I work with people who have learned to survive by quieting their needs, being cautious of relationships, feeling overly responsible for everyone else, and learning to take up less space; but are now ready and eager to make the changes in their life that will lead them to rediscover their worthiness, sense of agency, and meaningful connection with others.
​
Being an Enneagram 5, I am overly passionate about learning and have training in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic therapies. I particularly love and utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), and integration of non-ordinary states therapies- all of which I integrate into my sessions, but, I won’t talk jargon & theory with you, unless you want. Being specialized in these trauma-informed modalities alongside the absolute reverence I hold for fellow queer, neurodivergent, and the intersection of "othered" identities, I now help others explore the roots and tangles of their own life experiences, heal the wounding, and create a life of meaning.
