Over the past 25 years, she has worked with people in many different seasons of life. Jennifer began her career working with teenagers. Through this work, she recognized the need for working with the whole family unit. While working with family dynamics, she began to see the need to work with the start of the family, the couple. Helping couples connect allows them to have deeper relationships with their children, therefore strengthening the whole family.
"Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love" - Ephesians 4:1-2
