Hi, I am Jennifer Christian. Welcome! Thank you for visiting. I am an experienced Somatic EMDR therapist with a passion of working with clients who seek to better understand themselves, lessen anxiety, and work through past hurts. I specialize in trauma, grief, women’s issues, and transitions. I desire to work with the “whole” person which includes mind, body, and spirit.
My Counseling Perspective I care deeply about understanding your experience and provide a place where you do not have to journey alone. I believe that healing occurs when we explore our difficulties with courage, compassion, and curiosity. I work with a variety of approaches that include, building somatic awareness, Somatic EMDR, understanding unconscious drives, and tapping into the nervous system’s natural healing capacities. If you have never experienced counseling, you may be asking how all this comes together or what I can do for you. Fit is important. I encourage anyone who is interested in therapy to reach out and ask any questions, and set up a free consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!
