Hi, I’m Jen
I help people build secure attachment from the inside out.
For over 20 years I’ve worked with individuals and couples caught in the same painful patterns: the anxious reaching, the shutting down, the fear of being too much or not enough.
My work brings together Internal Family Systems, EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Together we listen to the protective parts of you, gently heal what they’ve been carrying, and grow a steady inner sense of safety.

What people say about working with Jen
“Discovering my loving, wise inner parent has been life-changing. I no longer need to look outside myself for the love and reassurance I missed as a child.”
C. David, MD · Inner Child Healing Course
“You are sensitive, intuitive and deeply connected into your material. Your questions were carefully considered and you responded from a place of deep experience and insight.”
The Embody Lab
“When I met Jennifer, I felt instantly at ease with her. She exudes a strength and gentleness in equal measures. I am so grateful for all the wisdom and love she has given to me.”
Faith, Sydney
“For the first time, I have a sense of me being there for the younger parts of myself instead of looking to other people to make me feel safe. It’s been life changing.”
