Sometimes your mind understands what’s happened, but your body still holds the impact. I’m trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, approaches that help gently process those deeper layers. My work integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, so change doesn’t just feel intellectual, it feels real, grounded, and lasting.

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and I help women quiet the kind of anxiety that runs in the background even when everything looks fine on the outside. A lot of my clients are the capable, responsible ones everyone else leans on, the ones quietly wondering if their stress is even "bad enough" to bring to therapy. It is, and you're welcome here. I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, and trauma-informed care, with a special focus on anxiety, self-trust, and healing from betrayal and relationship trauma.
