Hello! I’m Jennifer
Licensed Professional Counselor and
Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor
After graduating from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Journalism – Go Spartans! – I worked in marketing and communications. After my two children were born, I focused on freelance writing for various publications, mostly focusing on military spouses and military family issues.
When I was 39, I went back to school for my M.A. in Counseling from the University of Texas – San Antonio. I worked for a variety of agencies, including a 24-hour crisis and detox center. I then decided to jump into the private practice world, and enjoyed my private-pay practice for more than five years. I am currently working in corporate America as a Mental Health Clinical Trainer and doing some freelance writing on the side.
I continue to live in San Antonio, Texas, and in my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, and obsessing about my Boston Terrier, Kermit.

Private Practice Chronicles, Part 15: Getchu a Business Coach
2019 has been an incredible year of professional growth. My practice has grown exponentially – a good, no make that - great problem to have – but when you are a sole practitioner, too much growth too fast can bring some pretty big growing pains. This year I was...
Behavior Contracts
A family came to me with their 17-year-old son, who was running – not walking – through every house rule. He wasn’t checking in with his parents as they requested. He was dabbling in substances, coming home high and/or drunk, well past his established curfew. Grades...
