Jennifer was very easy to talk to and always made me feel safe and not judged and was prompt in getting back to me at all times. I felt she has a deep understanding of people, emotions and existential matters. Would love to talk to her again.

Jenn is very thorough. She tackles problems head on, while taking care to listen to where you're coming from. As soon as we starting communicating, I knew that I had found the help I needed.

Hello ~ I am currently a licensed professional counselor in PA and have been working with individuals of all ages, couples and families since 1994. I have spent a lot of my career working with children and adolescents and their families with behavioral and developmental disorders, however have focused my outpatient practice on individual outpatient therapy with adults. This experience combined with my graduate background in gerontology (the study of aging) and Doctoral focus on trauma treatment has given me the opportunity to work with people literally from 5 to 83 years in age. I currently work with clients dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, addiction issues, trauma symptoms, spectrum disorders, aging issues, grieving, obesity and any relational discord issues whether it is couples, family or marital counseling.
While I see the advantages of focusing on behavior and thoughts, sometimes changing our attitude, mindset or a habit is simply not enough. There are times in life when having someone to walk beside you in the most challenging parts of the journey is a source of comfort and strength. While I do not focus on the spiritual without my client requesting that aspect be focused on, I do feel that the therapeutic relationship is sacred and recognize what an honor it is to have someone share their story with me. I strive to honor that trust with thoughtful, educated, empirically based therapeutic interventions that focus on healing, health and wellness across all the facets of life. Holistic treatment: body, mind and spirit are all aspects of treatment that I am open to when working with my clients.
I do not discriminate in any fashion due to religion, race, orientation or well, anything really. Come as you are and we will address your concerns and hopes for your future in a proactive, health oriented way. I genuinely look forward to meeting you and planning out your treatment options and road to health and happiness. :)

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
