Hi, I’m Jennifer. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Hope Crossing. I have been licensed since 2002 and have experience as a counselor since 1998. I received my BA degree in Sociology and a minor in Art from Wheaton College in 1990. I also received a MA degree in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary in 1998. God has given me a heart for people of all ages and particularly for children, adolescents, and young adults.
I have clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, child development and attachment issues, and relationships. I am trained in EMDR. I value the use of art, music, and other creative outlets to enhance the therapeutic process and personal growth. Jesus is my Lord and Savior, and I know that it is only through His love and grace that I can be used to bring healing to other’s lives. I believe Jesus modeled an attitude of love and acceptance to people.
I am married and have two daughters, a dog, and a cat. I enjoy drawing, painting, calligraphy, piano, music, reading, movies, and camping in my free time. I am ready to meet you wherever you may find yourself in life.
