What happens to the nervous system during trauma?Trauma activates the body’s survival system, causing fight, flight, or freeze responses. Over time, the nervous system can stay on high alert or shut down, even when danger is no longer present.
Hi! I'm Jennifer. It can be difficult to reach out for help and even harder to find a therapist you are really able to connect with. I'm so glad you are taking a chance! I am passionate about helping clients reach their goals, improve their lives, and overcome hang-ups that keep them from moving forward. I specialize in treating family of origin, grief, trauma, depression disorders, and anxiety disorders. I love working with teens and adults! I offer a free 15-minute consult, so feel free to head over to our website and schedule a virtual consultation! I also provide Immigration Evaluations.
I use a client-centered approach to therapy, working with my clients to figure out what kind of treatment works best for them. I use a variety of treatment techniques, such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy to assist clients in gaining skills that they can use throughout their lives.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for healing.
I believe that there is always room to grow and learn, and I work to help my clients leave each session having learned something or having some new insight. I meet clients where they're at and use harm-reduction strategies to help individuals reach their mental health goals.
