★★★★★★★★★★Lindsey DrummondDec 2025

Jennifer brings a blend of compassion, insight, and strategic skill to her work. She deeply cares about her clients and supports meaningful, lasting change with warmth and clarity.

★★★★★★★★★★Sophia EtlingNov 2025

Jen's experience as an attourney and psychotherapist makes her uniquely suited to support busy, high achieving professionals with uncompromising standards for themselves. Her training in EMDR and behavioral therapies combined with her warm approach also prepares her to treat anxiety, stress, and trauma. On top of all of this, Jen has created a warm, inviting physical space in her downtown office, when in person therapy options feel rare nowadays. I feel safe referring clients to her capable hands!

★★★★★★★★★★Kate PowellSep 2025

I have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Jennifer, a skilled and compassionate therapist specializing in supporting high-performing adults in reaching their therapeutic goals. Her in person office space is warm and welcoming and really reflects the same thoughtfulness and intentionality she brings to her clinical work. Her professionalism is evident in every aspect of her practice—from clear and respectful communication, to her ethical grounding and consistent presence. She brings exceptional insight into the unique challenges faced by high-achieving individuals, offering nuanced support that balances both ambition and well-being. Her ability to meet clients exactly where they are, without judgment, fosters a safe and affirming therapeutic relationship. She is especially skilled at helping people who are often seen as “having it all together” find space to process, grow, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. I have full confidence in referring clients to Jennifer, and I’m continually impressed by the depth, care, and clarity she brings to her work. She is an asset to the Chicago mental health community and to anyone seeking a thoughtful, insightful, and grounded therapist.
