Jennifer joins Eastern Counseling and Wellness after taking a brave leap from a traditional corporate career to one as a helping professional. She originally received her BA in Marketing from Howard University and later pursued a successful career in Pharmaceutical Sales.

Opting to follow her passion as a healer, she received her Masters of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California. Upon graduation, Jennifer worked in various leadership capacities, supporting individuals with severe mental illness in communities surrounding Los Angeles. She delivered both therapeutic and case management services while serving as both a Supervisor and Director of Mental Health Programs.

Jennifer thoroughly enjoyed her 13 years of West Coast living, but decided to move back to the East Coast to be closer to her family. She currently resides in New York City. In addition to her role with Eastern Counseling and Wellness, she works for a major Health Network, where she counsels both adolescents and adults within a clinic setting. 

Jennifer utilizes solution-focused and strength–based modalities to encourage and support her clients as they discover, gain insight and move toward change.

Her motto is:

“While I can’t do the work for you, I can offer feedback, guidance and a safe space for you to figure it out! And I will cheer you along the way.” 

She blends several therapeutic modalities, including:

• Strengths-Based Therapy

• Solution-Focused Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Jennifer’s areas of specialty are:

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Life Stressors

• Trauma

When Jennifer is not working with clients, you can find her engaging in a multitude of fulfilling activities including dancing, strength-training, hiking, traveling, exploring anything new and exciting and spending much needed time with loved ones.
