Do you feel like you're always saying yes when you want to say no, replaying every conversation in your head, heart pounding over things that shouldn't feel this big? Maybe you grew up disappearing at the sound of footsteps, always scanning, bracing, reading the room before you could read words. Now you're the reliable one overachieving, overfunctioning, trying to prevent disaster before it hits. You’ve done the apps, the books, the deep breaths, the cold plunges, maybe a few glasses of wine to quiet the noise. But inside, you're frozen. Longing for something you’ve never fully had: a nervous system that feels safe and like home

Are you an overachieving, people-pleasing human who has a hard time saying no, tends to overwork, is secretly riddled with anxiety, has a challenging relationship with your parents, has difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries, and feel like you're riding a roller coaster of big emotions? Like the Type-A person that you are, you've tried all the things to feel better: self-help, exercise, yoga, meditation, healthy eating, new planners, podcasts...but you're still stuck. You thought it was a phase, but now it's starting to affect your relationships, and you're finally feeling ready - and willing - to make a real change

With over 20 years of experience in community mental health, I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) dedicated to supporting youth, adults, and neurodiverse individuals on their journey to healing and self-discovery. My approach is rooted in the belief that all behavior has meaning. While children and youth often express struggles through behavior, adults may show signs of distress through anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, or family conflict. I work alongside my clients to uncover deeper root causes, providing them with valuable insights to support the change they seek.

I specialize in supporting individuals and couples in high-stress, service-oriented professions, including police, firefighters, paramedics, healthcare workers, corrections, and other first responders. I also work extensively with veterans and their families, addressing the unique challenges they face. With vast experience navigating the psychological impacts of trauma and chronic stress, I understand how these experiences shape personal and professional lives. Grounded in attachment theory, my approach weaves evidence-based practices with transformative techniques to foster connection and healing.

Trauma changes you, but it does not have to define you. It is a chapter in your story, but it does not have to be your entire story. With over 12 years of experience working with survivors of childhood abuse, sexual violence, and emotional neglect, I understand the complexity and depth of the pain you may carry. Sometimes that pain manifests itself as complex PTSD and/or dissociation, leading to feelings of helplessness or hopelessness. Although healing from trauma can feel like an overwhelming journey, you don’t have to walk that path alone.

Waitlist for new clients
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.

Are you a smart, driven, career-focused, empathic woman who just feels stuck? Nobody sees your high-functioning anxiety; they would never suspect your inner struggle. But your brain is relentless, your inner critic picks apart your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you don't believe it. You wonder if you are depressed, maybe you have ADHD...everything feels like a chore, and life isn't FUN anymore. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how

Hi! I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a primary focus in trauma. If you're struggling to cope with your trauma and don't know what to do, I'm here to help. We all respond to trauma differently, which can sometimes make us question whether what we're experiencing is "normal" or ok. Symptoms can be frightening and confusing and can affect all areas of our lives, including self-esteem, relationships, mood, and more. My aim is to help you understand how trauma affects your brain and body, build healthy coping skills, and to support you in your journey toward healing, whatever that looks like for you.
