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.

Blog Post: Private Practice Chronicles, Part 3: Stop Apologizing
It goes like this: I get a phone call from a potential client. We chat about therapy and their individual needs. We discuss appointment days and times. Then they ask if I take insurance. Instead of simply saying, "No, I don't, I'm cash-pay only," my first instinct is...
Blog Post: College Parents, Listen Up: No Cash
Most senior parents (like I am) are in the throes of picking out XL twin sheets, hoarding Bed Bath & Beyond coupons, planning graduation parties and trying not to bawl like a baby at every senior night event. Aside from the hunting and gathering, there are other...
Blog Post: Were You Happy You Woke Up?
“Were you happy you woke up?” It’s a question my boss taught me to ask people that came into our clinic, a 24-hour, 7-day a week, 365-days-a-year free Crisis Clinic. Many that walked through the door presented with suicidal ideation (S/I), or had made previous...
