Meet Jennifer

Jennifer earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh in 2014. She is certified in trauma therapy and has extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through trauma, addiction, identity exploration, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. 

Jennifer’s background includes adoption-related trauma, infertility, multicultural and transracial families, family systems work, and LGBTQ+ identity development. Her approach is relational, creative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. 

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strength-based strategies, Motivational Interviewing, and experiential, arts-based techniques to help clients explore emotions and create meaningful change. Known for her out-of-the-box style, Jennifer tailors her methods to each client’s personality, needs, and goals. 

In addition to her clinical work, Jennifer has taught community programs designed to help families strengthen communication, navigate identity-related concerns, and better support their LGBTQ+ loved ones. Her earlier career includes work in domestic violence services, youth advocacy, community education, and leadership roles in residential and transitional youth programs—including farm-based therapeutic environments. 

Jennifer is committed to creating a space where every person feels seen, supported, and valued. Her balanced and compassionate approach allows her to work effectively with a broad spectrum of clients while offering specialized support when needed.
