About Jennifer
I earned my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at NC State University. I am a fully licensed LCMHC (licensed clinical mental health counselor) with 6 years of clinical experience counseling a vast population varying in age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, personal beliefs and cultural norms. I deeply value my work with individuals processing trauma and PTSD and feel equally fulfilled providing support to individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, personality disorders, grief and loss as well as in areas related to self-worth, identity and self-esteem.
Jennifer earned her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina State University. Her clinical style is heavily rooted in a person-centered and humanistic foundation with a breadth of trauma-informed modalities.
I believe in the importance of integrating interventions and theories to account for the unique nature each person brings. I draw from psychodynamic theory so clients can understand present day beliefs and behaviors by exploring and unpacking their past. I encourage clients to make connections to help them make sense of “the why” behind the behavior.
I appreciate the simplicity in complex things and view counseling in similar terms. People need people. We were never meant to brace this world without support. Human connection is not just a basic need; it is vital to living a life with meaning. I see counseling as a pathway to connection, knowing we are not alone and we never have to suffer in silence.
"I see counseling as intrinsically interwoven with empowerment. It is a space that appreciates the value of people coming as they are-- human and authentic. It is understanding the importance of unconditional acceptance, and in that space, feeling seen, heard and known. It is a remarkable channel for inspiring exchanges of mutual empathy and a space where individuals can find their voice and speak unapologetically about the experiences in their lives where they have previously been silenced."

Thriveworks is great overall. I wish it didn't make me do a depression and anxiety test every week. I feel like it is unnecessary and if anything makes those mental health issues w....

Get to know Jennifer
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I became a counselor for numerous reasons but primarily so that I can be there for other people in a way that matters to them. I know the importance and life-changing impact something as simple as support can have on a human life.
What types of clients do you work best with?
Clients who have endured some of the most devastating experiences who still show up as themselves with humility, authenticity and humor.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I meet clients where they are. Wherever you are, that is where we will begin.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
Please do whatever you need to do for yourself to feel comfortable. Come as you are and, if you're not ready to show your full self, we will move at your pace. Getting to know one another is a part of the process. I want to hear about you but it's less about what I want and more about you: whatever you are comfortable sharing with me.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
The brain is truly remarkable--we just have to learn to trust ourselves and open ourselves to the possibility of change, including changing the way we think.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
My personal experience with PTSD and other co-occurring mental illnesses have offered me the unique ability to connect with people on a deeper more vulnerable level, regardless of visible differences others may see on the surface.
