Hi! I'm Jennifer. It can be difficult to reach out for help and even harder to find a therapist you are really able to connect with. I'm so glad you are taking a chance! I am passionate about helping clients reach their goals, improve their lives, and overcome hangups that keep them from moving forward. I specialize in treating family of origin, grief, trauma, depression disorders, and anxiety disorders. I love working with teens and adults!

I'm trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, CRM, DBT, ACT and CBT.
If this has come your way, there is a part of you that recognizes it is time for a change. Whether that change is seeking clarity in some areas of your life or maybe it is wanting to work through complex emotions. It could possibly be working through a traumatic experience, challenging negative thinking patterns, or maybe it is learning new techniques to cope with difficult situations? Perhaps it is focused on personal growth? I am here to create a space that allows that process to naturally unfold. I will encourage your natural capacity towards health, while also removing the blocks, obstacles and painful patterns of suffering

You are strong—lately you’re overwhelmed, afraid of failure, and you find yourself spinning out. You try to push it aside and be strong, but you keep tripping over “it.” That nagging narrative you tell yourself, “I’m a failure,” and the fear, if others find out you will be exposed as weak, powerless, an imposter. The hidden panic courses through you like a constant current. You’re exhausted, but you have to keep going after all, you are the leader, the one others come to for safety. Except, now, you need someone to offer you the felt sense of safety apart from the avoidance of vulnerability, it is too much, you are too much.

Over 30 years of experience in counseling couples and individuals, I use my skills and training in Imago therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Ericksonian Hypnosis, and Self-Relations Therapy to help you navigate changes in your life and relationships.
A quote by Milton Erickson that inspires us to view therapy as a way to manage change: "People come for therapy not to change their past but their future." - and there are so many changes these days! Managing change with creativity and insight creates new opportunities and revitalizes relationships. When experiencing change do you struggle with lack of motivation, depressive moods, self-defeating self talk, or poor self-confidence? Counseling helps you gain insight into your underlying feelings and motivations, envision new possibilities for yourself or your relationship, and clarify conflicting emotions.

Our work together reflects your unique needs and may include modern relational therapy, ancient healing breaths and meditations, and Brainspotting for old traumas.
I support men and women struggling with their pain. Sometimes old events, losses, and ways of behaving bog you down or keep you feeling stuck. Maybe you are overwhelmed relating with your partner, friends, or kids- or you feel isolated and alone. Today's fast paced changes may leave you anxious and unsure. Sometimes that anxiety expands into full blown panic and fear. Together we can explore ways to shift reactive and impulsive behaviors that magnify your suffering. I will help you access your inner wisdom and healing so you may experience deeper connection with others and life feels more fulfilling.

Being human isn't always easy, and when life gets complicated and becomes challenging, therapy can help offer tools to navigate through a crisis while providing you a deeper exploration of yourself. Problems in relationships often come from old ways of coping that served you in the past, but now may be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. I believe our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change. Healing is possible, and therapy is a journey towards self-discovery where you get to explore the landscape of your own mind.

Trauma & stress affect us psychologically and physically, I'm trained (certified) in somatic therapies including: EMDR, Brainspotting, & NARM.
Are you tired of traditional talk therapy? Overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, or fear and stress? Maybe you feel like you've already done "so much work on yourself" and yet you still engage in some self-defeating patterns. This may show up in dating the same dysfunctional type of person, or acting out childhood patterns at work, overworking to please your boss without being recognized. You may lack patience or sometimes get impatient with your partner/children, the same way your parents were with you. Or maybe you shut down when you need to speak up, since many of us were taught to be "good little girls and boys". I can help.

How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.
Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.
How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
