Jennifer Carpenter

You may have spent years building a life, caring for other people, and doing what needed to be done. But somewhere along the way, you may have lost touch with yourself. Maybe a relationship changed, your children are getting older, you’ve lost someone important, or you just aren't sure who you are anymore.

Jennifer works with women in that "in-between" place, as well as teenage girls navigating identity, self esteem, friendships, and the pressure of figuring out who they’re supposed to be. You don’t need to come to therapy knowing exactly what’s wrong. Jennifer can help you find your own voice and figure out what you want for yourself.

Therapy with Jennifer doesn’t always mean sitting and trying to find the right words. Through expressive arts, you might create a sand tray, draw an inner critic or cheerleader, make a mind map, put together a tactile journal, or use textures and objects to represent experiences and emotions. You don’t have to be artistic. It’s an opportunity for therapy to feel creative, freeing, and even fun while still doing meaningful work!

And if relationships are part of what brought you in, Jennifer’s Gottman training can help you gain skills to break out of the same arguments and patterns and find new ways to understand and connect with your partner. You don’t have to have yourself figured out before you start. Jennifer can help you discover what comes next.
