Fun Facts:

Why Jennifer chose to become a therapist: In my years as an Educator, I was drawn to the phrase, "Maslow before Blooms." That children need to have their social and emotional needs met before they can learn and that is how I started my counseling journey. I found that validating a child's emotional state helped them to feel seen and heard so they could experience resilience and grow from life's obstacles...there will always be obstacles.
