About Dr. Jennifer
I understand where you’re coming from.
I bring a unique blend of training and personal experience to cognitive behavioral therapy. With an extensive background in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, I’ve been able to zero in on clients’ thought processes quickly and accurately. In the end, they achieve cognitive, emotional and behavioral changes that stay with them long after therapy is complete.
With more than 20 years of experience using cognitive behavioral therapy in treating a diverse group of people, I am continually rewarded when my clients truly get better—not just feel better.
