Background and Experience
After receiving her Master’s from Mississippi State University, Jennifer pursued additional specialized training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as well as other body and movement based modalities.Â
She also has a background in yoga and enjoys incorporating somatic-based methods and theories into her practice, along with elements of mindfulness. Her work has spanned various mental health settings, though she has since settled into private practice.
Specialities and Approach
Jennifer works with various issues and conditions, but specializes in working with trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. She favors a holistic approach, bringing EMDR and somatic elements into sessions alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, and internal family systems work.
