She brings 25 years of clinical experience and works to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Jennifer speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as a LICSW and LCSW.

Jennifer aims to help people improve relationships and day-to-day functioning. She listens closely and validates what clients bring to sessions. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client build a plan that fits real life and specific goals.

Her background includes long experience in private practice and a range of life challenges that shape her perspective. She is a cancer survivor and has navigated major life disruptions. Those experiences inform her patience and practical focus when working with stress, health changes, grief, and parenting concerns.

Jennifer uses several methods to meet different needs, including trauma-focused approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive strategies. She adapts techniques to a person's situation rather than applying one fixed method. Sessions typically emphasize clear steps, coping skills, and communication work.

She helps with a wide set of concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and career or life transitions. She also addresses attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and chronic illness challenges.

How trauma-focused and practical therapies work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through the effects of past harm. It focuses on building safety, reducing overwhelming reactions, and practicing new ways of coping so daily life feels more manageable.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches how to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a life they care about, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now. It supports people in building clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more secure ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to decide what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the available online options are determined by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to continue steady work on goals when sessions can be arranged around their routines.
