Jennifer is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor (LMAC), brings over 18 years of expertise in mental health and addiction treatment. Her extensive training includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), alongside specialized approaches for addiction recovery.

In 2020, while working at the VA, Jennifer envisioned creating a therapeutic space that aligned more closely with her values and approach to care. Motivated by a desire to break free from an environment that didn’t reflect her philosophy, she founded Journeys Therapeutic Services. Her goal was to build a practice that fosters compassionate, client-centered care and empowers individuals to find healing and personal growth.

Jennifer is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges by offering evidence-based, tailored care to meet each client’s unique needs. In addition to therapy sessions, she provides comprehensive substance abuse assessments and DUI evaluations for those seeking clarity and support on their path to recovery.

She primarily works with older teens and adults, fostering a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore personal growth, build resilience, and embrace meaningful healing. Jennifer’s empathetic and collaborative approach ensures each client feels valued and understood as they navigate their unique journey.

Outside the therapy room, Jennifer is deeply committed to advancing her expertise through continuing education and research. Her dedication to staying at the forefront of best practices ensures her clients receive the most effective, evidence-based care possible.
