When we are faced with what seems like an insurmountable crisis it can take a toll on not only us but our relationships. 

Jennifer Nunes is no stranger to handling crisis situations. When one of her sons was just 7 months old he had a stroke leading to a stay in the hospital receiving care and acclimating to their new normal. 

During this tumultuous time, as someone who has always been a planner she had to learn many hard lessons on how to accept things as they came, change plans daily as needed, and communicate with her husband to keep their relationship strong. 

Jennifer is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples improve their mindset, develop coping strategies, and increase self-awareness to improve their lives. 

Specializing in anxiety and a growth mindset, Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support clients in their healing journey.
