First Step Towards Healing

Have you experienced overwhelming stress in your life? Do you often feel unseen, unwanted, or under-appreciated? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or easily irritated? Maybe you’re not even sure why, but you have a feeling something is just not working well. Your relationships don’t offer the support you wish they did. You feel isolated, overwhelmed and angry much of the time, or you are either avoiding conflict or having more arguments than you’d like.

But you know there’s more than this cycle you feel trapped in, a way to feel better, to understand the deeper roots of what’s contributing to your stress, and a way to break free.

Through compassionate therapy and mindful guidance, I help empower you to prune away thoughts and beliefs that hinder your spiritual growth and personal well-being. I aim to foster mental and emotional healing, empowering you to live authentically and purposefully in alignment with your faith.


Hi, I'm Jennifer

I see each person as valuable in the eyes of God, so I approach therapy with that same value on each person. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, trauma-informed care to those who have experienced difficult childhood circumstances. With empathy, understanding, and clinical expertise, I walk alongside you in your journey towards healing and empowerment.

"He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more." -John 15:2

I have found that many of our struggles in adulthood have stemmed from learned behaviors and responses in childhood. Even in the earliest years of life, we are learning communication styles, coping strategies, and emotional regulation skills. Sometimes what we have learned doesn't serve us as well as we'd like. 

In gardening, the unwanted or overgrown parts of a plant must be trimmed back or cut away to allow for fruit or blossoms to grow. Sometimes, we need to do the same in our life. Although pruning may sound painful and difficult, it is not a punishment. Pruning enhances growth by removing what inhibits us and allows us to grow. I’m here to help you remove the unwanted thoughts, behaviors, and habits in order to help you grow in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
