Complex/Relational Trauma Therapy: Jennifer works with adults who have experienced intergenerational and interpersonal traumas in their upbringing and in adult relationships. We may have had unavailable caregivers whom did not have the tools to provide essential emotional support, which then shaped our sense of shame and other core beliefs about our worth. We needed to feel safe and protected, to be guided with the appropriate balance of security and independence to develop self-trust and confidence in our decision making. We learned to adapt and survive with coping strategies that continue to exist and may no longer be helpful.

We all need to feel seen, heard, validated, known, and respected. My hope, as a neutral guide, is to assist you in contemplating the bigger picture of your life and relationships, to witness patterns, promote self-compassion, and make connections between past and present that may inform change for a richer future for yourself and your relationships.

This work is not easy. Difficult and uncomfortable emotions arise in therapy. I aim to support you from a place of respect and compassion while gently challenging you to move out of your ‘stuckness’ toward conscious change, an improved sense of self, confidence, meaning, and greater joy in your life.

I use a trauma-informed approach that asks the question, "what happened to you", instead of "what's wrong with you". We begin with a detailed family/personal/health history of your experiences, relationships, and perceptions which evolves into a collaborative process of safely exploring symptoms and concerns through a lens of understanding the contributing factors of adversity and resilience.
