More about Jennifer
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am licensed in Washington with 15 years of professional work experience in community mental health and private practice. I graduated with a Master's of Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University in 2005. I have experience in supporting clients through situational issues as well as developing strategies to manage chronic challenges. I earned designation as a Child Mental Health Specialist and provided clinical supervision to provisional licensees, interns, and senior clinicians before moving to private practice.
We will collaborate to develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs, builds on your existing strengths, and reaches your goals.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I strive to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment to allow for growth that may be uncomfortable at times. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am excited that you have taken that step to a healthier life!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've been seeing Jennifer for most of 2023 and she is really fantastic. She creates an environment that I feel comfortable about sharing any thoughts and feelings and helps me work through my thoughts and navigate my struggles. Highly recommend her as a therapist. She's wonderful.
Jennifer is a Godsend. That's all that needs to be said. As a therapist, I appreciate her expertise and real life mentality.
Jennifer is tremendously inviting in discussing and exposing the hurt that I’ve had and helping me analyze ways to separate my pain from myself. She is incredibly easy going in her approach and this allows me to feel safe while discussing sensitive subjects and learning to heal properly from a life that would have benefitted from therapy sooner.
Jennifer has been monumental in helping me with my well-being journey. I'm really grateful for having found her as my therapist on this platform. She listens with an intention to fully understand the problem & reframes my thought process in a way where I'm empowered to act on the solution.
I have had three sessions with Jennifer so far and she is wonderful! She listens and validates and challenges me and she has been making a really big different in my life the last month! She is amazing
