Hello, Beautiful Souls,

Are you someone who's been feeling tired, unseen, unappreciated, abandoned, or as if you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? You're not alone. In fact, your feelings are completely normal responses to the many challenges and demands that life throws our way.

I'm Jennifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I'm here to create a safe and welcoming space for you to explore these feelings and work through the complexities of your life. As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals just like you navigate the ups and downs of life while honoring your experiences and emotions.

Your assignment now is to focus on you. Self-love is the best gift you can give to yourself. I would love to take this journey with you, while you rediscover the amazing qualities about yourself.

With 4 years of experience and advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy, Family therapy, and couple/relationship therapy, I bring a comprehensive approach to mental health care. I use evidence-based treatments to offer personalized, effective therapy.

I specialize in providing compassionate therapy for individuals dealing with a range of life challenges. With expertise in anxiety, parenting, life stressors, life changes, relationships, depression, and abandonment, I am committed to helping you navigate these complexities. My approach is client-centered and tailored to your unique needs and goals.

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, 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.
