Hello! My name is Jennifer, and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. Congratulations on taking the first step in improving your emotional wellbeing and I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. My highest priority is to offer empathy, guidance, and support, all while striving to create an inclusive space for all, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodiverse individuals. My approach to therapy includes a mixture of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness to help you navigate issues such as anxiety/stress, grief, depression, and adjusting to life’s challenges. My approach is structured yet adaptable, always tailored to your unique lived experience. I also hold a certification in Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) which allows me to help you with acute stress and critical life events. In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where we will discuss what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your experiences and together, we can work towards identifying goals that are important to you. My hope is to create a supportive environment so you can leave that first session feeling heard and with a sense of direction. I currently accept the below insurances and am available for private pay. Please visit my website for the most up to date information. You can also email me for a brief consultation. Thank you!

This is done through ensuring that clients feel safe, supported, and are persistently reminded to extend themselves grace and self-compassion. In the Sanctuary clients are provided a safe space to discuss the complexities of "adulting", process their trauma, navigate grief, adjust to change and transitions, be vulnerable about their fears and insecurities, and express uncertainty and ambivalence about their faith stories.
