Hello, I am glad you are here! I believe that our moments of greatest struggle can also hold the most potential for growth and self-discovery. The struggles we face are an invitation from ourselves to deepen and grow. I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive place in which you can begin to explore what is causing distress in your life. Together we can illuminate your unique strengths and pave a path toward greater self-understanding and ease.
I am fascinated by people and relationships. Since 2003 I have been treating both adults and children in a variety of settings. I have an MS in Counseling from California State University East Bay, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist both in California (MFC# 46172) and in Vermont (100.0116919). I believe that we all deserve compassion and support as we navigate our path to greater understanding of ourselves and our loved ones. As the parent of a special needs child, I am continually humbled by the ways this role challenges me to work and grow personally each day.
I currently offer counseling and psychotherapy services for individual adults, couples, and teens who are struggling with a variety of concerns. I offer specialized services for perinatal women and for families with children age 0-5. Understanding the profound importance of this period, I have spent the last 15 years studying how to best support early parent-child relationships. I utilize a combination of attachment focused, client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused modalities to support these goals. I invite you to reach out directly in order to gain a better sense of who I am and the work that I do with my clients. I would be honored to join you in the process of healing and deepening self-knowledge.

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.

Overall rating:
Kind, insightful and warm. Excellent at what she does. Highly recommend!
Jennifer is a guiding light when things start to get a dark. Thank you!
Jennifer has been great since the first session. She really listened and focused on my primary concerns. She went above and beyond regarding duration of our session; no rush at the end. She addressed my main concerns very effectively from the beginning, and she asked smart questions, provided insightful comments as expected, no "low-yield talk", and she continued to listen carefully always using mirroring techniques and empathy. Thank you for all that you do, Jennifer!
Jennifer is culturally responsive and compassionate. Yet, she helps me stay accountable with what needs work.
Jennifer is an excellent therapist. I will stay with her as long as I can.
Jennifer has been great. She’s provided me ways to address and handles all areas of my life.
Jennifer is kind, intelligent, and well-versed in therapeutic techniques that are engaging and reap massive rewards. I cannot say enough about how she has helped me grow in our year working together. I highly recommend her.
Jennifer is a deeply thoughtful and kind therapist who facilitates a calm and accepting space to engage. I fully trust her expertise and it is clear that she is able to draw from a range of theoretical perspectives. She is perceptive and attentive to the nuances “in the room “ which helps to make the most out of the therapy relationship. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Jennifer.
In this extreme difficult situation and I should say, desperate for me, Jennifer is like a breath of fresh air for my extremely hurt heart and soul. My tears are not sufficient to flush away
Jennifer has literally been a lifesaver for me. She is patient, caring and kind. I truly feel as if she knows when I need a gentle approach or a little push to dig deeper. My husband and I look forward to our sessions and can list several ways our lives have improved by incorporating skills we have learned from Jennifer.
Jennifer was very helpful during our session. I felt very open to talk to her and she was very calming.
Smart, understanding, empathetic. Actually ~h~e~l~p~s and teaches skills, pushes boundaries, provides support. It's been a journey and we've just started.
Glad to work Jennifer. The insight and conversations are engaging and exactly what I’m needing support with.
Jennifer has been amazing for me!
Jennifer is a very insightful and compassionate therapist with a deep understanding of her craft. She offers wonderful strategies and guidance. I feel she truly listens and encourages me. I highly recommend her.
Thanks for your help, Jennifer. You are kind and knowledgeable and i do feel supported by you.
I’ve only met with Jennifer once so far, but I felt very comfortable talking with her after putting off seeking help for too long. She listens well and offers great conversation and knowledge about what I have going on.
She is good, knows what she is doing. Very supportive yet will tell you what you need to work on.
Kind, thoughtful and very knowledgeable. I love workin with Jennifer.
I always feel heard and acknowledged. It’s a rare thing in this world. And I like that we’re on this journey together, an exploration partner and guide, to help me find the best me. She’s the best!
