Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Hi, I’m Jennifer—wife, mom of two teenage boys and two energetic dogs, chocolate lover, relational trauma therapist, and founder of SelfWork Counseling.
I believe our relationships shape how we grow, heal, and experience life. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I help individuals and couples navigate trauma, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.
My passion for this work comes from both personal and professional experience. I understand how trauma, life transitions, and relationship struggles can leave us feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to heal, reconnect, and move forward with greater confidence and hope.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples:
Strengthen marriages and relationships.
Heal from trauma and betrayal.
Navigate life transitions and conflict.
Rebuild trust and deepen connection.
Rediscover authenticity, resilience, and joy.
My style is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I tailor therapy to your unique needs using approaches such as PACT Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), APSATS, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness.
Wherever you are in your journey, I'm here to help you build healthier relationships, heal from the past, and create a more connected, fulfilling life.
Marriage is one of life’s most meaningful journeys, and every relationship faces challenges. Whether you want to reconnect, rebuild trust, or improve communication, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you grow together. How I Can Help Together, we can: Improve communication with empathy and clarity. Heal from trust issues, betrayal, or infidelity. Deepen emotional and physical intimacy. Break recurring conflict patterns. Navigate life’s transitions as a team. My Approach My own experience with marriage therapy shaped my passion for helping couples. I understand how powerful it is to feel heard, supported, and understood. Using evidence-based approaches—including PACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Solution-Focused Therapy—I tailor each session to your relationship’s unique needs, helping you build a stronger, healthier connection.
Betrayal trauma, relational trauma, and infidelity can deeply affect your sense of trust and safety, leaving you feeling lost or disconnected. I know firsthand how painful these experiences can be. My own healing journey has shaped my passion for helping others rebuild their lives after trauma. With the right support, healing is possible. Together, we’ll process the hurt, rebuild trust, and restore a sense of safety and connection—both within yourself and in your relationships. In therapy, we’ll work together to: Heal the emotional wounds caused by betrayal and infidelity. Rebuild trust and create a sense of safety. Strengthen your self-worth and boundaries. Cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships. As someone who’s walked this path, I understand the challenges you’re facing. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can heal at your own pace. With trauma-informed methods like EMDR, PACT, and relational therapy, I’ll support you in finding peace and connection again.
