More about Jennifer
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have lived in Nevada since 1996. I am aware of community resources. I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed in the State of Nevada. I have a bachelor's and masters in social work. I then completed my clinical internship working with children diagnosed with (SED) Severe Emotional Disturbance and their families and supportive team.
I have counseled children ages 4-18 and their families, attending interdisciplinary and team care coordination meetings. Issues included but were not limited to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, foster care/adoption.
I have worked with clients facing imminent immigration and deportation issues. My undergraduate internship was in hospice and a local community resource center.
I have worked with the senior and disabled population, providing active listening and resources and connections to supportive services in their communities.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

We are just starting but so far it is going well
It’s so difficult to find a caring, personable and kind therapist and I’m so glad that I was matched with Jennifer. She’s amazing and I’ve seen great strides in my mental health since our sessions together began. Thank you!
She is great
Jen has been so wonderful, loving, understanding and supportive in our sessions thus far. She listens and cares. She is very helpful and gives homework that is helpful with the things that we talk about in sessions. She’s a wonderful human, I am very thankful for her
As a first-timer in therapy, getting matched with Jennifer worked out well. She is so sweet and understanding, especially with the time difference. She always listens, remembers things I have said, and takes the time to message me and check how things are going. Even when we weren't supposed to meet, connecting with her and feeling comfortable was easy.
Jennifer was my first therapist here and was super helpful, and patient, and easy to talk to! When I decided to try this 4 weeks ago, I was in a dark place, lost and confused, and needed some guidance to get me back on track to find my way through my grief. She helped me with many resources and advice on how to take things day by day and reminded me that there's nothing wrong with how I'm feeling. I'm very grateful for her time and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, sympathetic ear to talk to.
You've helped me through so many changes in my life. From divorce, navigating new and family relationships, to a brand new role in my career. I will forever be grateful!
It's still early, but Jennifer is as thoughtful and professional as I could expect.
I have had difficulty finding a therapist I clicked with. Jennifer immediately felt like a safe place even on our first call. I can’t recommend her enough. I always feel so much better after our sessions. She validates feelings like no one I have ever worked with and has never made me feel guilty even when I tell her things I am not very proud of. 10/10. Thank you so much Jennifer!
Jennifer listens without judgement - supports, understands, and allows me to be open and honest.
I know I have only had one session so far, but I have never felt so comfortable with a person immediately. It is refreshing that I know she is only one message away
Jennifer has been incredible! She has given me so much great advice on how to handle my stress and anxiety. I'm seeing improvement already after a few sessions and excited for my next session. Highly recommend.
Jennifer has been so accommodating to my ever changing moods and has always gave me ample ways to process them. Truly a very good person and extremely reliable therapist.
Jennifer is great at listening and understanding and provides tools and advice that for with me as a person and not awkward or unreasonable. I’m very pleased so far that I was matched with her!
