Patient Testimonials

Jennifer is wonderful. I started seeing Jennifer when I was going through one of the lowest points in my life. She is supportive, and actively listens. Jen provides great tools to for navigating difficult relationships, setting goals and boundaries, as well as diffusing anxiety. Some of her best attributes are her empathy and honesty. She isn’t afraid to shine light on things you may not being doing in your own self interest — but without judgement. She creates a very comfortable space where you feel like you’re sitting down to chat with a trusted friend rather than a stranger. I would highly recommend her services.

Jennifer is great! She's empathetic and listens carefully. She encourages you to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone. To view things through a different lens. She's also honest when things you do might not be working out for you and you have to try a different way. Jennifer provided me with the tools I needed to communicate my needs and my feelings in a way that would not be perceived as confrontational or as an argument. She also encouraged me to practice assertiveness and discernment. I truly enjoyed working with her.

This might be the longest review you’ve ever read, but I’m more than happy to share my thoughts about Jennifer. I was paired up with Jennifer in 2020 when I was at my lowest point, struggling with domestic violence, alcoholism and the feeling of giving up on life. From the start, Jennifer has made me feel heard and support, never pushing me away even on the days we weren’t scheduled to meet. Her guidance has been invaluable, always offering me informative and practical help, and directing me to resources beyond her practice when needed. I can say certainly without Jennifer I may not be here today. I am deeply grateful for everything she has done and accomplished. Having her by my side has made be able to accomplish anything that life throws my way. It might sound like I’m gushing, but I genuinely mean it when I say I love Jennifer and she hold a special place in my heart. I hope everyone has a Jennifer in their life, bc I know 1st hand the impact she can have.

Jennifer is a therapist who is easy to connect with and can understand the problems of today’s world very well. She makes sessions comfortable and relatable and was easy to warm up to. She helps to ground her clients in session and I leave feeling calm and empowered to take on the week until our next session.
