Meet Jenifer

I have experience in helping clients cope with addictions, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, identity, confidence, and depression. I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with each other. I formally provided counseling services in-home, in a middle school clinic, at a university college clinic, within a community healthcare clinic, and in virtual private practice. My main focus of therapy is providing a safe place for vulnerability, exploration, and building upon the skills you already possess. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey. Therapy is a process and I allow you to set the expectations, but I would love to assist you in your journey!!!
