Expression is essential in everyday life, especially when working through difficult times. In some circumstances, it can be difficult to verbally express oneself. Creative expression can demonstrate one’s thoughts and feelings in a tangible way that verbal expression is not always able to. Art Therapy can be helpful in exploring one’s thoughts and feelings and fostering self-awareness. As an Art Therapist, I have the ability and knowledge to bring artmaking into therapy to help facilitate the healing process. I practice with a person-centered, strength based, creative approach to meet clients where they are and help them start to make changes and heal.
I graduated with my Masters in Art Therapy with a Specialization in Counseling in 2014 from Seton Hill University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), as well as a Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC). I have experience with Trauma Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, as well as Crisis Intervention.

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.

Overall rating:
She is so kind and understanding. My favorite therapist of all my life
I really like her.
she is a sweet and caring professional. she’s able to go step by step with you and push questions that you never wouldn’t have thought about yourself.
Jennifer made me feel extremely comfortable for my first therapy session. I left feeling validated and heard and cannot wait until our next session.
Jennifer strikes me as a very relatable person and an expert in her craft. Her guidance and company has made life problems seem just as that.. life problems. I enjoy our meetings and speaking with her because people it’s providing better help.
It's only been a few weeks but I definitely feel heard. I'm looking forward to continually working with Jennifer as I sort myself out.
Working with Jennifer has been a breath of fresh air. I love being able to uncover deep emotions in a creative way.
Jennifer is a GREAT counselor and I highly recommend her to anyone. Even if you are skeptical of Art Therapy, give it a go! It is a fantastic difference in counseling. I suggest it to anyone who has been in counseling before, if nothing else to try something new.
Jennifer is sharp and caring. She listens well, asks appropriate questions and she is very professional. She definitely offers helpful information relative to my needs and concerns.
