I specialize in addressing the following concerns/situations with Adolescents and Adults:.
Is it time?
Time to finally take care of YOU? Navigating your day-to-day life, you are likely doing the very best you can; to deal with the difficult people, to cope with the stress.
Sometimes life gives us indicators of what it's about to throw at us, other times, things seem to come out of nowhere.
At the end of the day, despite your best efforts, you may end up feeling helpless, burnt-out, alone, anxious, numb or sad.
Jennifer aims to work collaboratively with you to reconnect with your inner strengths to make grand steps toward healing.
Let's face it: Parenting is hard - maybe that's because it's such an important job!
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, frustrated, like you've tried everything and you don't know where else to turn, it may be time to consider counseling support.
Jennifer's years of experience with teens and their families indicate that most struggles between parents and teens typically boil down to a few common things.
Whether the trouble lies in communicating, concerning behavior, difficulty following rules, or various emotional concerns, Jennifer is skilled in identifying and addressing these issues.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specified psychotherapy treatment that helps people heal from life events or experiences that are difficult, distressing or frightening.
EMDR Therapy suggests that our nervous system sometimes struggles to integrate incidences that occur in our lives, and/or it becomes so overwhelmed, it cannot integrate the information.
Instead of processing or 'digesting' the occurrence(s), images, feelings, thoughts and body sensations of the memory, it can get 'stuck' and then stored in the brain - causing distressing symptoms.
Jennifer is skilled and experienced in supporting clients struggling with: anxiety, panic attacks, grief, loss, depression, stress, anger, self-image concerns, trauma, and PTSD.
Additionally, if you or someone you know struggles with thoughts of suicide or urges to self-injure, Jennifer has proven methods for methodically addressing these concerns.
If navigating relationship struggles, coping with the effects of being a crime victim, or the myriad of difficulties connected to growing up with self-absorbed parents, there are ways to overcome.
