Professional statement

As a Native New Yorker, Jennifer is committed to working with clients across the city to nourish their capacity for staying present through life’s inevitable challenges—especially in such a demanding landscape.

Her clients are adults and adolescents who are tired of feeling mentorless, stuck, or afraid of failure and want to change their lives. Whether they’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, Jennifer collaborates with them in a relational, experiential way to engage their intrinsic capacity to heal.

Therapy is a time for Jennifer’s clients to slow down and nurture the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors making up their internal world. By pausing, paying attention to their body’s vital messages, and discovering their needs through a lens of attachment theory, neuroscience, and mindfulness, clients become more open and confident.


Message to clients

Growth is beautiful, although at times, it’s not pretty. I’m here to support you through this process, tap into your intrinsic ability to heal, and achieve your full potential.

We all carry defenses, shame, and maladaptive coping strategies. We also have innate abilities to rewire pathways, heal, and grow. Searching for the right therapist is a courageous, purposeful act. By getting started, you’re deciding to find your way back to peace and pay attention to how you want to live. I hope you reach out.
