Hey there! I'm Jennifer, the therapist you want if you're looking to understand yourself in a greater and more profound way. Self-love and growth are my passions. I want to hear what you're going through and together finding a way toward experiencing the life you desire. I'll create the space where it's safe for you to just be yourself- without judgement!
I have a Master of Counseling Psychology from Avila University, and licensed in both MO & KS. Therapist since 2014.
My goal is to "make it make sense". I always want to leave you feeling empowered and valuable. I aim to take my knowledge of psych, philosophy and the human experience and make it more relatable, down-to-earth. Then, it's easier to apply to our lives in a real way. A lot of self-compassion, a little humor, a good example or metaphor, sprinkle a curse word here or there- this is therapy!
I like to begin by getting to know you- what you've been through and how YOU see the world. I'll learn from you what you'd like to accomplish and together we'll collaborate on how to get to it. The type of therapy I use is based on the individual, as you can imagine. But, I do lean into using existential, emotion-focused, narrative, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and trauma-informed therapies.
