About Jennifer

Jennifer holds two Master’s degrees. One in Social Work from University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work (GSSW) and one in Specialized Ministry from Iliff School of Theology specializing in Peace and Social Justice and Pastoral Care, as well as, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Fullerton. She is an adjunct Faculty at University of Denver’s GSSW specializing in teaching the intersection of substance abuse, mental health and trauma.  Jennifer is a Reiki Master, a certified Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator and has completed 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. More recently Jennifer completed the MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) MDMA training to become a certified MAPS Therapist. The theoretical approach is based on a philosophy that every person has within them an intrinsic wisdom and ability to heal, and that this inner healing wisdom blossoms naturally in an environment of safety and support. She is also a certified clinician trained in Cannabis and Ketamine Assisted Somatic Interactive Psychotherapy.

Jennifer is also an author. She’s written and published many articles online for www.YourTango.com and in local Denver magazines. She is now in the final stages of completing her fist novel, Wilumina and the Well. A heartfelt parable about trauma, recovery and indomitable power of love.

Most importantly Jennifer is a mother, a lover, a friend, a daughter and a sister. Without these most important roles none of the above means anything. She’s an avid yoga enthusiast. She is interesting all things psychedelic. From the neuro-scientific benefits to the spiritual application. From this interest, she has discovered that we are here to learn one thing and one thing only. How to love. First ourselves and then others. That’s it. How we get there can be pretty complicated. But entirely worth the journey. The most treacherous path one can take is within, from the head to the heart, the journey to love.

"We never know how good we are until we are called to rise." -Emily Dickinson
