Jen has been there for me through the hardest days of my life. I don't think I would have made it through this past year without her support. She is calming, understanding, and offers perspective when needed. She listens to you and understands your needs. I am lucky that this has been my experience, and hope everyone is able to work with someone as lovely as Jen.

As a mental health counselor and gender specialist, my commitments are to be your advocate, supporter, teacher, and encourager. Together, we will create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable to work. It is a truth of mine that we are all in our own struggles; if only we could be there together in those struggles, we may be able to truly find our strengths more easily.
My therapy style is interactive, inviting and a space I commit to always feeling honest and authentic (I love a good sense of humor along the way). I focus on supporting the individual, as each is unique and may present an array of concerns. An individual will be able to enter into a therapeutic environment that is safe, free from judgment, and supportive. I strive to supply a space for each client that is empowering and motivating. I primarily work from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Positive Psychology. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, adults, and LGBTQ-affirmative and Transgender transitioning.
I have specific experience within trauma-focused, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, family issues and child behavior concerns. I enjoy working with clients on issues of self-esteem building, anxiety reduction, coping skills, and relationship skills-building. Knowing your authentic self is a true journey of discovery and self-love. This is a true guide for all of my clinical work. I have collected my clinical experience from settings of private practice, university counseling and grade schools.
I am an avid reader (kind of a history and sci-fi dork...) and have two fantastically wild and amazing kiddos. In my spare time, you can always catch me hosting impromptu dance parties in the kitchen.
I am currently a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (NC) and National Board Certified Counselor. I typically schedule Live Sessions week-to-week, including offering some evening and weekend slots. I will be happy to work out a consistent time for you once we get started.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jennifer is awesome, there was time when I thought I lost everything, that life wasn't worth living anymore. I was so wrong , and life has really just started for me. I was really never happy , but now my life is alot happier. Transgender dysphoria is a killer and if it is not addressed you will never live the life u were meant to have. Yes ,you'll lose many, but gain more in time. These people u gain will be true friends.
Only been seeing her for a few weeks but I feel more seen and listened to than with any other therapist I’ve had.
Jen provides a safe space for me to feel, process and move past issues. She provides a realistic, fresh perspective.
Wonderful therapist, very helpful and comforting.
Jen and I have been on the same wavelength from the start. I read her bio and I immediately resonated with her being, she listens and gets you to think. She definitely feels like a friend and a home that is safe to relax and be! Much gratitude Jen.
I was afraid to revisit therapy until I met Jen. She helped me through a tough period in my life and gave actual solutions and advice, mingled with humor and kindness. I cannot recommend her enough.
The motto "what would Jennifer do" will become a life mantra for you. She's a fantastic sounding board, advocate, and support system.
Jen has been a shining star for the full year that she's counseled me. So utterly encouraging and she connects with you on such a heartfelt level and always helps you feel accepted and understood while providing easy to swallow mindful practices to find a healthier mindset. I'm eternally thankful to Jen <3
One of the best therapists I’ve ever had! She actually cares and you can tell! She’s not just playing the part she truly cares and helps a lot
Jennifer is very easy going and is a great counselor. She is very compassionate and understanding! Highly recommend!
I am returning to Better Help, primarily because of Jen, and her expertise. She is very professional and supportive. I am glad to have her on my side as I work through my anxiety.
Jennifer has been an incredibly resourceful and kind counselor.
Jennifer is the best counselor I have ever had! I have had a ton of growth in my therapy with her and I feel like she is truly supporting me to grow.
Jennifer is a wonderful counselor. Her responses are always delivered in a timely manner and are extremely well thought out. It is very clear that she takes time to read and understand my messages , which is evident in her thoughtful and helpful responses. Jennifer is always reaching out if I forget to respond and she has a great way of making me feel justified in my feelings and like I can share anything with her.
I love Jennifer and live life now by the mantra "What Would Jennifer Do".
I really can’t put into words what Jennifer has and still does for me. I didn’t think I could ever get my happiness, self confidence or self respect back. But Jennifer has helped me to realize I can. That I deserve to be happy, confident and to respect who I am. She’s helped me to see that it’s ok to not be ok. And Jennifer’s there whether I’m ok or not ok!! Thank you
I started counseling with Jen in February and had a huge impact in a positive way and in a short period of time, honestly I’m happy to find the help I needed in Jen and have a better life. So happy with my counselor.
Jennifer is awesome. She understands mom and family life, provides me with personalized tools to use in my daily life and gets to the source of whatever it is that’s bothering me. She has helped me know myself better.
Jen has really helped me work through several concerns that I had, and has validated my feelings every step of the way. Not only has she done this, but she has also given me the tools to handle various situations will less stress and anxiety!
Jennifer is a joy to work with - flexible, kind, caring, and compassionate. She's motivating, and always helps to reframe and affirm. I have so enjoyed working with her in these few weeks and I'm sure that I will continue to learn more from her in my mental health journey. My favorite thing about Jennifer is that she's so down-to-earth. I never feel judged, or like I'm talking to a Capital C Counselor. I feel like I'm talking to a kind, empathetic human who truly understands and is trying to help.
Jennifer is an excellent therapist. She is very compassionate and sensitive to my needs and is very actively involved in helping me deal with my grief in tangible ways, as well as talking and guiding me through the dark days. She is always kind and easy to talk to, and I am very happy I was connected with her.
Concise and effective.

Jennifer has been fantastic to work with. She challenges me to keep digging deeper and always offers kind support and encouragement.
So glad I got paired with Jen, our session felt like I was talking to a trusted friend, and someone who understood where I was coming from on issues!
Jen has been a tremendous help. The best part is that she will check in on me. I will be overwhelmed with work and life, but she'll send a message to ask me how I'm doing and remind me to take time for me amidst the chaos. She also has a plethora of resources is always available to share.
Jennifer really listens to what I'm trying to say. She is very perceptive even though I have only been using voice to communicate so far. I'm thankful that I found such a good online counselor as I was apprehensive at first about BetterHelp.
Jennifer was attentive, compassionate and genuinely interested in my thoughts and feelings. I recommend her to anyone in need of support.
Jennifer is patient and kind. She responds very quickly and really takes time to understand and pinpoint your hurt.
Jennifer has been so helpful so far!! She is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. She makes understanding and working through issues that much easier.
Jennifer is very easy to talk to and has a variety of times that should work for everyone. My favorite thing that she does is follow up the next day to make sure we both had the same overview of the session. That was very helpful for me.
Jen is an exceptional Counselor. I think the world of her and she’s helped me a whole lot. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a Counselor.
