“From the moment I met Jennifer I knew I was face-to-face with an exceptional person. She had a quality of presence, genuineness, and warmth that is impossible to simulate. It is through her heart and feeling function that Jennifer is able to achieve such positive outcomes. She is also well versed in the tools and methods of evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing, ACT, and mindfulness based interventions. In the time I worked with Jennifer, I had the opportunity to witness a natural therapist and terrific colleague in action.

“I felt Jenny’s warmth the moment I met her in graduate school. What Jenny says and does is with genuine care and empathy. She is attuned and patient, insightful and funny. Her calm, grounded support quiets nerves about beginning therapy. Jenny will make it easier to show up as your most honest, and sometimes, most broken self.
Going to therapy can be hard. Jenny makes it easier. With Jenny, you aren’t alone.

Samantha Canter, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
