Jennifer believes in working collaboratively with children, families, and other providers. “I take a practical approach to helping families find the solutions that will work for them. Whether children need skills to better manage anger, assistance building impulse control, improved social skills, or other help, I find that when a child’s parents and I establish a strong working relationship, we are able to make progress much more quickly.”
