More about Jennifer
- 9 years' experience

- LMHC
I am licensed in Washington with 9 years of professional work experience. I believe that destiny is not something that happens by chance, but is something that happens by choice. And although we can’t control everything, we can control the choices we make. I enjoy working with people to help them understand the choices they make, learn to make better choices, and learn how to better manage the things that can’t be changed. I uses a variety of therapeutic styles beginning with meeting you where you are and understanding where you want to go. I also uses aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness and ecotherapy.
I earned my first Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Interpretation from Prescott College and worked for many years as a naturalist in state parks, national parks, and as a kayak guide in the San Juan Islands. I then went on to get a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Ashford University and my Masters Degree in Counseling from Lewis and Clark College in Portland Oregon. When not working, I enjoy reading, gardening, and exploring the forests and waters of the area, usually with a pair of binoculars.

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.
