Jennifer’s work as a therapist began in New York City just after 9/11, in the midst of her four-year psychology training, working as a volunteer counselor at Healing Works, an organization founded by several New York City psychotherapists that offered low-cost counseling to uninsured New Yorkers. Now practicing in person in Paris and virtually in Ohio, Jennifer integrates many different modalities in her work, including mindfulness, awareness and self-compassion practices, to best serve each individual. Jennifer received a certificate in contemplative psychotherapy from the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science and her Masters in Social Work, with a concentration in clinical social work, from The Ohio State University. She is also a certified instructor in Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT).
Some of the protocols I specialize in are teaching coping and life skills to help reduce anxiety, stress and depression; supporting individuals through relationship challenges, loneliness and grief; helping to resolve issues around trauma and abuse; supporting individuals through dependency, codependency and difficult life transitions; and helping young people navigate low self-esteem and social issues by cultivating life-long skills.
Starting or re-starting therapy is an important and courageous step. I’m committed to meeting you wherever you are through warmth, deep listening, openness and compassion. I work virtually in Ohio.
