I have really enjoyed therapy with Jennifer, she responds to messages in a timely manner and gives a multitude of options for different paths of healing-worksheets, EMDR, journal prompts. She is relatable and makes talking about the hard, deep issues a bit easier with her calm and understanding demeanor.

More about Jennifer

I'm a freshly licensed mental health counselor in the state of Utah. I am certified in EMDR and have done most of my work in residential non-profit behavior modification/substance abuse treatment. In the past three years, I've worked with trauma, PTSD, and personality disorders firsthand, in addition to anxiety, depression, family dynamics, and motivating individuals to change. My clients have come from varied backgrounds including homelessness, incarceration, foster care/adoption, and all socioeconomic levels.
My clients have described me as "easy to talk to," "approachable," and "nonjudgmental." I have Brene Brown's three "Gifts of Imperfection" tattooed on my forearm, as a constant challenge to live my values: courage, compassion, and connection. I use a client-centered approach, where you are the expert on your life and what works best for you. I was giving homework and references to my friends long before I was ever professionally licensed and I'm creative about finding resources to support and educate my clients now. I've experienced my own struggles and have benefitted from therapy immensely over the course of my adult life. I firmly believe this informs my ability to empathize with clients and offer a realistic therapeutic relationship, based on trust, dignity, and honesty, especially when the topics are difficult. I'm married to a non-binary person and identify as bisexual.
In short, I have many skills (DBT, CBT, EMDR, to name a few). I am not afraid of difficult clients or trauma stories. I love the work I do and I take the responsibility of therapy very seriously. I would be honored to help you on your personal journey, wherever it takes us.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
