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. As we create a partnership, together, we can tackle anxiety, depression, behavioral health, and develop healthy techniques to overcome barriers preventing you from living your best life.

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 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!
