Family Therapist
Jennifer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor specializing in substance abuse and mental health. She received her master’s degree in social work from Walden University, her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Waldorf University, and her associate’s degree in criminal justice from Central Piedmont College.
Jennifer began a career in law enforcement, and having spent many years in the field, she became aware of the intersection between substance abuse, mental health, and the criminal justice system, inspiring her to pursue a career in addiction counseling. From there, she began her first career in the recovery field as a recovery guide for adolescent males with Red Oak Recovery. She found fulfillment in being an integral part of the journey for adolescents seeking hope and recovery by providing primary support. She transitioned to working in an outpatient dual diagnosis, substance abuse, and mental health treatment facility working with adult males and females as well as their family members. During this time, she earned her degrees and licensures. Jennifer has come full circle and returned to where her career in recovery began, Red Oak Recovery, as a family therapist.
Jennifer is dedicated to helping adolescents and their families navigate the complex challenges of addiction and recovery, trauma, behavioral issues, and family conflict. Her approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Family Systems Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, ensuring that treatment is compassionate and effective. Believing that healing happens within relationships, Jennifer emphasizes the importance of family involvement throughout the treatment process. She brings a warm, collaborative, and strength-based approach to therapy, helping adolescents and their families rebuild trust, improve communication, and create sustainable change. In addition to family therapy, she also facilitates group programs and family workshops. Whether leading multi-family groups, facilitating one-on-one family sessions, or coaching parents on supportive strategies, she is dedicated to helping families reconnect and move forward together. Jennifer’s personal recovery journey has given her the opportunity to create heartfelt connections with clients and families while offering support, compassion, and empathy.
In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, exercising, running, mountain biking, fishing, and anything else she can do outside, which helps her stay grounded and connected.
