Welcome, I’m Jennifer.

I have lived through an anxious depression, and it is hellish. Barely being able to get out of bed and drag yourself through the day, second-guessing everything you do, and feeling terrified that things can never get better. Not having the energy, motivation or desire to partake of anything that you typically enjoy. Questioning if life is worth living because all you see is an endless stream of sadness and apathy.

 I am happy to tell you, I came out on the other side, and I am here to help you do the same! My lived experience gives me great joy in guiding others to foster the skills they need to reclaim their lives and vanquish depression and anxiety for good. Together, we can build a powerful alliance to help you reclaim your life.

I have been a licensed independent social worker and clinical therapist for 31 years. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 1993 with my Master of Social Work degree. I have worked with a variety of people and couples doing individual, couples and group therapy.

I have a passion for helping teens and young adults who are struggling with depression and anxiety due to living through childhood trauma, or because they are uncertain about their transition to adulthood or their chosen career and personal path.

I do faith-based counseling upon request, and see spirituality as a powerful ally in the change process. 

 I also offer clinical supervision, editing of Psychology Today and other professional profiles, and of web content, to make your descriptors concise and well-spoken.

I love to laugh irreverently, read to learn new things, exercise (I sweat like a guy, no sparkling here!), and I hold a degree in clarinet performance which I use to teach privately and play in local gigs.

 My husband, an RN, and I have been married for 20 years. We have an 18-year-old daughter and 17-year-old identical twin boys.  The kids are 16 months apart, so I consider myself lucky to be with it enough to do this job!
