Jennifer has been an amazing counselor! She is extremely thoughtful and intuitive. She asks great questions and has pushed me to expand my perspective in new ways through these questions. She is always equipped with insightful resources to share and has provided me with multiple tools and tactics that have helped me with my anxious thoughts/tendencies. Her approach to navigate through topics has changed my view on therapy in such a positive light!
