Jennifer will equip you with the skills you need through a cooperative and collaborative relationship that focuses on your strengths that already exist. Her approach is that of a wellness model as she believes most people hold their own answers and solutions to their challenges but simply need a safe place in which to share experiences, improve insight and self-awareness and explore solutions. She recognizes that everyone has a story. She doesn’t believe in putting clients where she thinks they need to be but, rather, in meeting them where they are. She serves as a guide to help you discover your own solutions.

I’m a counselor in NC and SC with 8 years of experience. I started my career working with people with disabilities in a college. It taught me flexibility and to help with diverse needs. People often separate mental/physical health, families/relationships, and careers. Yet, they all play a part in our overall life satisfaction. When I transitioned to providing therapy, I gained experience working with trauma. I saw many people were unaware that past events were affecting their lives. I grew passionate about helping people recognize trauma responses and reduce symptoms. My specialties include trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders.

"Life is not the way it is supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference" by Virginia Satir. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, whether it's because they struggle with anxiety or depression, want to improve their relationships, are faced with work or other life transitions, or generally want to engage in greater self-awareness and personal growth. My approach to therapy is best described as interactive and engaging. I use a variety of therapeutic tools and strategies, which are tailored to the unique needs and goals of each client.

A healthy mind leads to a happier life. Seeking therapy can be the most challenging yet rewarding step towards healing.

If you're new to therapy or having reservations about trying it, you’re exactly who I’d love to meet! I offer a non-judgmental and relatable space to explore and make changes to the places in life you're feeling stuck. The most common issues I help people with are; anxiety, relationship transitions, mood instability, negative self-talk, guilt & shame, codependent behaviors such as 'people pleasing', feelings of inadequacy, and substance misuse. Many of my clients have experienced childhood trauma, sexual trauma, PTSD, or CPTSD. I have a particular passion for helping folks in the music & hospitality industries.

Life stressors can be overwhelming and life changing. And change is not always easy. Stress can be overwhelming and quickly take over our lives. Stress is often the start pointing of depression and anxiety. Stress makes it difficult to set boundaries, participate in self-care, communicate, and several other factors that drive our life forward. We often find ourselves with a deficit in more than one area of life. It is important to identify and process out the source of the stress be it physical health, trauma, spiritual, family, social, career, finances, or romantic relationships.

Now accepting new clients- Limited in-person in Charleston, SC, and via telehealth in South Carolina and Colorado. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life and struggling to find balance and fulfillment? Life can be filled with joys and challenges, but at times those challenges will leave us feeling anxious, stuck, or exhausted. Daily obligations can completely overwhelm us, and eventually something has to give. During these times, it can be difficult to see the possibilities that lie ahead. Even though it may seem daunting, give yourself credit for taking the first step by looking for a therapist.

As a licensed clinical social worker for over 18 years, my interactions with clients have been the most rewarding. From children to adolescents to teens to adults, I have addressed numerous life issues, including mental health, abuse, neglect, trauma, and offending behaviors. I have also worked with military families around a variety of stressors. I honor, respect and appreciate the fact that clients allow me into their lives and strive to build and maintain healthy and strong relationships.

Many of us are overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Beyond the normal stressors, individuals and families deal with a myriad of problems. They can easily be paralyzed by the decisions that must be made and are weighed down by strained relationships and seemingly insurmountable circumstances. The good news is that there are solutions and each person has the ability to create and/or experience change within their own lives! I am privileged to assist clients as they identify changes needed to create positive life changes, make good, solid decisions, and sustain more productive, constructive behaviors and thought patterns.

As a Christian counselor, I believe a person's problems and concerns can encompass their physical, mental, and spiritual health. My goal is to provide therapy that addresses a client's deeper issues and wounds not just their symptoms. I consider it important to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment to promote development, healing and growth. I work with depression, anxiety, PTSD & trauma recovery, marriage/pre-marital therapy and parent education. If life feels overwhelming, stressful or lonely, I would consider it a privilege to set up a consultation to offer hope and courage for your current situation.

All mental & emotional health rests upon positive self esteem. It is much less likely that a person will become depressed or anxious if they have a positive self-image,... if they believe they have value. Self talk reflects the way we feel about ourselves. If a person's thinking is the same after therapy, as it was before, than nothing was accomplished. Issues, such as low self-esteem, may benefit from a psycho-dynamic approach. That is because the way we think about ourselves starts in early childhood. How we think about ourselves effects everything we do,...every decision we make.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or wondering why relationships tend to feel so difficult? Do you find that you beat yourself up with self-criticism? Life can be challenging, and we may feel that we have to just keep going and suck it up, which may lead us to feel lonelier and more overwhelmed. In my experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and previous experience as a yoga instructor I have found that the combination of mindfulness, self-awareness, and processing trauma can be quite powerful in finding our authentic selves.
