I have lived in Nevada since 1996. I am aware of community resources. I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed in the State of Nevada. I have a bachelor's and masters in social work. I then completed my clinical internship working with children diagnosed with (SED) Severe Emotional Disturbance and their families and supportive team.
I have counseled children ages 4-18 and their families, attending interdisciplinary and team care coordination meetings. Issues included but were not limited to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, foster care/adoption.
I have worked with clients facing imminent immigration and deportation issues. My undergraduate internship was in hospice and a local community resource center.
I have worked with the senior and disabled population, providing active listening and resources and connections to supportive services in their communities.
I look forward to working with you!

As a first-timer in therapy, getting matched with Jennifer worked out well. She is so sweet and understanding, especially with the time difference. She always listens, remembers things I have said, and takes the time to message me and check how things are going. Even when we weren't supposed to meet, connecting with her and feeling comfortable was easy.

Jennifer was my first therapist here and was super helpful, and patient, and easy to talk to! When I decided to try this 4 weeks ago, I was in a dark place, lost and confused, and needed some guidance to get me back on track to find my way through my grief. She helped me with many resources and advice on how to take things day by day and reminded me that there's nothing wrong with how I'm feeling. I'm very grateful for her time and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, sympathetic ear to talk to.
