Sometimes the hardest part about therapy and accepting help is not the therapy itself. It can actually be in the very first moments we meet: knowing you are in a safe space. Feeling comfortable. Viewing me, at first a stranger, as someone you can trust and open up to. We engage with new people and strangers daily, but how many of them do we confide in? How many times are we asked how we’re doing and we can’t bring ourselves to share the truth? “I’m barely coping with my depression.” “My anxiety is taking over my life.” “I have too much to deal with right now.” “Nobody understands.” I understand.

At Boston Children's Hospital Medical Center and Landmark School, I developed specialties in eating disorders, trauma and illness exacerbated by stress, and learning disabilities. "Jennifer was very professional and insightful, great with couples therapy as she doesn't take sides and helps each person understand the other's feelings and behaviors. I highly recommend her."

We believe each of us has the capacity to truly learn about ourselves through our most challenging experiences. We use life’s challenges to grow into the people we strive to be, however at times these experiences are difficult to navigate independently. We believe the best therapeutic relationship begins with a strong, safe, and trusting therapeutic alliance. Without this security, clients can not fully achieve their goals set forth in treatment. Our eclectic and client specific approach, allows us to meet clients where they are and develop a treatment plan to best fit their needs/goals.

Do you feel like other people are having a better experience in life than you are?
Do you have the idea that you're experiencing more stress, more dissatisfaction, facing more issues?
Would you like to get along with your children or parents better, or develop the relationship with your partner?
Are you trying to figure out these things on your own? Many find it difficult to turn to someone else to get help with what we feel we 'should' be able to manage alone. Truth is, we're meant to seek out support from those around us.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. It’s especially hard when your child is the one that’s struggling. It’s painful for you to listen to them talk about how anxious, misunderstood, or alone they feel. Maybe they’re not talking to you at all, which makes you worry even more... There could be something else behind that heaviness in your chest. You may be facing stressful relationship dynamics, a health issue, a loss of some kind. You get through your days, trying to cross everything off the list, but aren’t finding much fulfillment or joy. You’re feeling unsettled, anxious or depressed.

I've been in private practice for 34 years. I've had extensive training in both theoretical and didactic psychotherapy. An important part of my training was my own work and research in understanding myself and my marriage and other important relationships. This is why I think I am so confident at being both a couples therapist and an individual therapist. I believe this is primarily an educational process or a re-educational process.

I have been working primarily with adolescents and children for over 20 years. I have a very direct and realistic approach that has great success working with the most challenging teens, especially. I also welcome parents who are having difficulty with this challenging transitional time in raising teenagers as well. In addition I work with couples to promote positive communication to strengthen and build positive relationships.
