Jennifer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Houston, TX. Jennifer’s practice supports those who feel stuck in their lives - whether that’s stuck in a negative thought pattern, stuck in a past experience, stuck in a toxic relationship, or stuck in their developmental growth. Jennifer specializes in working with those who have experienced trauma and dissociation, as well as those who feel depressed or anxious to a point where they feel overwhelmed with daily life.
During a session, Jennifer may draw from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as well as Somatic Experiencing therapy. Both types of therapy believe that trauma is stored within the brain and the body, and an individual who hopes to recover from trauma must work through their stored emotions and beliefs, and physical reactions. Jennifer may help clients to develop a more curious and flexible view of their thoughts and feelings, or support clients in finding individualized coping skills. She also recognizes that people’s lives are filled with relationships and often asks clients to speak about their interactions with loved ones emphasizing perspective-taking and connection. Jennifer helps clients reflect on their relationships, both past and present, to increase awareness of repeating patterns and possible re-enactments.
Jennifer works with clients of all races, ethnicities, and spiritual and religious backgrounds (including non-religious). She provides queer affirming and gender affirming care and is sex positive (including asexual) and kink positive. Jennifer believes in and respects each person’s right to self-determination.
Jennifer earned her Bachelors degree from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, Louisiana and her Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Houston. Her sessions are warm and invite new perspectives, making them especially helpful for those who are in therapy for the first time. Her eclectic style draws from numerous psychological modalities.
Trauma - Coping and healing after threatening or scary events, such as witnessing accidents or experiencing sexual, verbal, emotional, or physical abuse
Dissociative disorders - Support processing and coping with painful or overwhelming emotions and reducing experiences of detachment from one’s reality, emotions, memory, and body
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - Healing painful experiences and memories from the past
Loss, grief, and bereavement - Emotionally preparing for the anticipated passing of a loved one; managing feelings and reactions to a death or loss of significance; support during the process of healing and acceptance
