Compassionate Virtual Therapy for Children and Adults

Begin the Journey Back to Calm

Life can feel heavy when you're struggling with school, self, or others. I provide a warm, supportive space where children and adults alike can reconnect with their inner wisdom and find their footing again.

UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNS

Does this sound like you?

FOR THE CHILD/PARENT

School days feel like a battle, and you're worried your child is losing their spark.

FOR THE ADULT

You’re the one everyone leans on, but inside, you feel like you’re drifting without an anchor.

FOR THE GRIEVING SPOUSE

You’re navigating a 'new normal' that feels anything but normal, and you need a space where you don't have to explain why it's so hard.

LET’S FIND A WAY BACK TO YOU

How I can help

01

CHILD & ADOLESCENT THERAPY

I provide a safe, playful, and supportive virtual space for children and teens to navigate the "big feelings" that come with school, family changes, and growing up. Together, we build the tools they need to find their balance and feel confident in their own skin again.

02

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR ADULTS

Whether you are navigating the complexities of solo parenting, military life, or the heavy terrain of grief, I offer an insightful partnership to help you process your experience. We work to move you out of "survival mode" and back into a life that feels intentional and peaceful.

03

NERVOUS SYSTEM & RESILIENCE SUPPORT

By integrating specialized tools like the Safe and Sound Protocol with traditional talk therapy, I help you or your child regulate the physical "weight" of stress. This approach is designed to calm the noise of the world so you can finally feel settled and secure within yourself.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

How it works: Finding your Footing

  • Starting the Conversation: Your Initial Intake

    We begin with a 15 minute free consultation, where we will explore our next steps. This is followed up with a dedicated intake session where I listen to your story—or your child’s—to understand the specific "weight" you’re carrying. This is our time to ensure we are a good fit and to start building a foundation of trust.

  • The Journey Together

    In our virtual sessions, we use a nurturing, insightful approach to navigate life’s terrain. Whether we are building coping tools for school-day stress or processing complex transitions, we work at a pace that feels safe and supportive for your nervous system.

  • Peace and Balance

    As you integrate new insights and tools, the "heavy" feelings begin to lift. You or your child will move forward with a rediscovered sense of inner wisdom, feeling more grounded, resilient, and ready to breathe again.

GUIDING YOU BACK TO BALANCE

Hey, Jennifer here

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of making a tangible difference. Long before I was a clinician, I was the "go-to" listener, a natural inclination that eventually became a calling. To me, therapy is a profound privilege—it is the process of empowering you to heal, reconnect, and move from surviving to thriving.

My years as a mental health clinician in elementary schools taught me a fundamental truth: healing happens within relationships. Children, much like adults, simply need to feel heard and truly connected. Whether I am working with a child navigating "big feelings" or an adult facing a life transition, my approach is rooted in building a safe, supportive partnership where clarity and health can grow.

I want my clients to know that I understand what it feels like when the world shatters. From witnessing the resilience of abandoned children in Romania to being widowed in my mid-20’s and navigating life as a single mom, I have seen the "shattered pieces" of life up close.

I have learned that while the pieces of a broken world may bring sorrow for a season, things do not have to stay that way. I have made mistakes, found my footing, and rebuilt my own life—and I am here to help you do the same. If you are looking for a therapist who is supportive, insightful, and a "breath of fresh air" during a heavy season, I would be honored to walk with you.
