Are you stuck? Do you feel like a deer in headlights? Do you feel like you are moving through life just surviving, not really living? Are you constantly dealing with emergencies and putting out fires in your life but never really getting anything you want to do accomplished? Or do you feel lost and without direction, like a ship in the middle of a storm? Sometimes life is hard and painful. And sometimes, the pain or the trauma we have suffered stops us dead in our tracks and keeps us from moving forward. This can be worse for Blacks or those that are being triggered by racial or systemic trauma. Struggling can tire us out!
My name is Dr. Jennifer, and I am here to help. I want you to live a golden life (as discussed in the song by R&B artist Jill Scott). I would love to help you to move from survival to thriving, from putting out fires to moving toward dreams, and from paralysis to getting things that matter to YOU accomplished.
Since childhood, I have had a deep concern for people in pain, and I was particularly drawn to helping those oppressed and suffering from pain due to their race, gender, or socio-economic status. I have devoted my life's work to this cause – to hold out a hand and attempt to lift someone up drowning from depression, trauma, or stress of life. May I help you?
