"The wholeness we seek lies already within us, like the light of the sun ever shining"

Jennifer (she/her) is a LCSW with over 25 years of professional experience, specializing in the new tradition of advanced, neuroscience-rooted modalities for accelerated and lasting shifts of negative reactions to traumas, or other life stressors. Powerful techniques include, but are not limited to: Brainspotting, evolved from EMDR, Emotional Freedom Technique, endorsed by the APA, and Rapid Resolution Therapy.

EFT and Brainspotting are different approaches, but both are experiential, mind-body processes that work physiologically. EFT is a cognitive-somatic technique that disrupts old thought patterns, allowing for ‘rewiring’ of new perspectives. Brainspotting is based on the ideas that ‘where you look affects how you feel’, and of ‘bringing to resolution’ disrupted, incomplete survival responses of the deep brain and nervous system, harnessing brain’s innate capacity for self-rewiring. Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) is supported by recent brain science changing our understanding of how memories can be stored so they are no longer actively distressing. Novel communication techniques are used to ‘update’ mind’s outdated responses without painful emotions, other than the brief retelling of a story.

At her discretion, Jennifer may use any of these methods alone or combined, in a way that is collaborative, precise and playful, with moment to moment relational attunement. Parts work concepts and techniques may also be integrated, including themes from IFS, involving our capacity for compassionate self-leadership in healing protective ‘parts’ of self. Jennifer has a particular affinity for actors, athletes, therapists, entrepreneurs, first responders, and mindful individuals who wish to flow into more creative and thriving lives.
