Life is hard enough as we know it; add current events, family conflict, marital problems, and difficulties with managing your children's mental health and you have created a recipe for disaster. Your day to day expectations can be overwhelming and cause challenges as you have to manage everyone including workload, family life, and yourself too. If you are able to relate, please allow me to help you. We may not be able to perfect all identified areas requiring attention but we can certainly work to make things better.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is really attuned to the nuances of me.
Jennifer is amazing and responds in a perfect timely manor. Not constantly too quick to bother you throughout the day, but not too long to wonder where in the world she went. She understands and relates herself to my issues very well and has been amazing so far.
I absolutley love talking to Jennifer, she is helping me through alot of things and everything I say to her she finds a way to make me feel better
Jennifer has guided me through a dark, painful and thorny journey of family loss. She is a great life coach, inspiring me and challenging me every step of the way through trauma and grief. She’s got some major skillz in leading people safely through emotional minefields with kindness, care, and hope for the journey onward. I’m so fortunate that Better Help connected the two of us. Thank you, Better Help, and thank you, Jennifer.

I just started therapy with her, but si far she has been very responsive and caring. I appreciate her help and time very much.
She’s very helpful and knowledgeable and always is supportive. She’s very good at breaking things down so you can get a better understanding of her perspective. She also asks a lot of questions that make you dig deep so both you and her can have more understanding of what’s going on.
Only counselor to help me with addictions outside of drugs or alcohol. Has not made me feel insecure or like I was being judged at any moment, and is very understanding. Great counselor!
