She emphasizes problem solving, skill building, and clearer communication so people can manage stress and face life changes with more confidence. Her work includes experience with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and other forms of emotional injury, and she has used forensic interviewing skills in prior roles.
She also supports people navigating grief, mood disorders, panic attacks, eating concerns, and addictions. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress. Jennifer aims to create a space where people can talk frankly, learn new coping strategies, and notice small changes that add up.
She lives in California, enjoys gardening and home projects, and values time with her husband and two daughters.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and values, then take small, meaningful actions toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, social anxiety, or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting techniques over time to find what actually helps.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions.
