My daughter has been seeing Jennifer since she was in the 2nd grade, and I believe that has made all the difference for her. I've watched as her emotional intelligence has grown. Her ability to process and express what's going on for her inside is now expressed with a clarity, confidence, and simplicity which can cut through my frustrations with her. Jennifer has also been an invaluable coach and interpreter for me. She has a way of framing things that unlocks my compassion for my daughter. She's filed down my rough edges, and encouraged me to Stand and Listen in a way which has brought a closeness and intimacy between my daughter and I for which I am so grateful.

Jennifer helps you navigating life and its difficulties as a human being, parent, and co-parent with incredible wisdom and calm. She also provides an amazing therapeutic approach through which you have the chance to heal the root issues from your past, which in turn can help you become a better parent and improve your well-being tremendously.

I Initially sought out Jen’s help for my child. Once she realized that she could help me and that would help my child our sessions shifted to focus on helping me become the parent I always wanted to be and the parent I wanted my child to have.

Working with Jen has radically transformed my relationship with my children and my parenting. Where there was previously anxiety, frustration, sadness, and often anger, there is now understanding and connection. I had no idea what needed to change or how to make possible something different, and working with Jen’s deep care, knowledge, and depth of experience has provided me with tangible skills and understanding that translates into a richer, happier, and more easeful parenting - I am so very grateful. Thank you Jen!
