You have what it takes to feel better - I can help you get there.
Mental Health Therapy in Midland, MI

Nice to meet you, I'm Jennifer
My mission as a therapist is to help you come home to your authentic self. Life’s stressors can pull us away from our values, our identity, and our sense of grounding. Together, we can create space to reconnect with what matters most to you.
My therapeutic style is relaxed, non-judgmental, and empowering. I believe you hold the wisdom you need, and my role is to support you as you uncover it. As a recipient of mental health counseling, I know how challenging life can be. My time as a yoga teacher taught me to value the mind–body connection. Sessions may incorporate breath work, mindfulness, or gentle movement when it feels helpful and comfortable for you.
I have experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and postpartum issues. My clients are often suffering from burnout, overwhelm, and trying to keep it all together in a world that is always demanding more.
Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me with my husband and two kids. We love camping in the summer and fall and spending as much time as we can outdoors. Yoga continues to be essential to my own mental and physical well-being, and I love sharing that passion with others.
If this approach resonates with you, I’d be honored to work together. Let’s make it happen.

YOGA OFFERINGS
Jennifer currently teaches private yoga classes at the Big Sky Wellness office near the circle in Midland, Michigan.
Private yoga is more than a workout. tI's an opportunity to invest in your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unlike group classes, private sessions are thoughtfully tailored to your unique body, abilities, goals, and needs.
Through personalized movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, private yoga can help improve strength, flexibility, balance, and body awareness while supporting nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and emotional well-being. Whether you're looking to ease physical tension, reconnect with your body, build confidence in your practice, or simply create space for yourself, private yoga offers an individualized approach to lasting wellness.
Investing in private yoga means investing in how you feel, move, and experience your everyday life. It's dedicated time to care for yourself, body and mind, in a way that meets you exactly where you are.
Important note: While yoga is a wonderful addition to mental health therapy and can help support your therapeutic goals, it is not a substitute for mental health therapy. During a class, I am not working as a therapist but as a yoga teacher.
