To know more about me and my chosen field of practice, it’s probably best that I give you a personal look at what got me to where I am today, counseling and coaching people just like you who want to end their emotional setbacks like depression, anxiety and fear, consistently, and usually medication free.

That defining moment in my life happened in 2003. For years prior, I had been on medication after medication for my depression; I was originally diagnosed in 1996 while attending Texas Tech University. I had managed my depression and anxiety mostly through the use of medications and talk therapy up to that point. I felt ok, but not near what I felt my potential was. I felt doomed to a life of despair, sadness, hopelessness, and an immense amount of powerlessness and anger.

One day, while driving home from my Physician’s office in a town an hour away where I’d just received yet another prescription to add to the bunch, I had a deep calm and peace come over me, and I knew instantly that I wouldn’t fill the prescription, and I wouldn’t ever take the anti-depression prescription medication again. I knew, without having full details in that moment, that something bigger would help me through this turmoil. I cried the entire way home while talking to my husband on the phone, telling him how I KNEW; I just KNEW there was something more. This couldn’t be my lot in life… not taking so many medications and still feeling so horrible each and everyday! I told him, “That’s it! I quit! I’m not taking these pills, and I’m not going to live this life anymore! I’ve had it.” Honestly, that scared him.

See, years prior, when I told him, “I quit,” that meant - I quit my life. But this time was different. I felt a power well up in me, and I knew that I was going to be able to find an alternative way. And I did.

At that very moment, I made a commitment to immerse myself in absolutely every book, study, report, and piece of literature I could find. I read every book on treating depression naturally I could get my hands on. I took every seminar that was available. I essentially decided that, although I was already viewed as an expert by many, I would be a different KIND of expert. I would become the expert on treating depression and other disorders naturally (something I hadn’t been doing in my practice). And, I’d be brutally honest about my journey, so others could be brutally honest about theirs.

Lo and behold, in less than 3 months, I felt 100% better than I’d ever felt before, and I wasn’t taking a single, solitary medication. My life was flipped upside down - in a good way!

Before long, I was telling everyone I knew about my story and the success I was having. My friends noticed a change in me, and so did my family. They would say, “What are you doing that is making you seem as if you are alive again? You look great, and I can tell you FEEL great, too!” I’d give my patients two or three things they could do, and in no time at all, they were saying, “Jennifer, this is the best I’ve felt in YEARS!”

I have since made a commitment to dedicate my professional practice to helping those with depression, anxiety, anger, fear, guilt and any other emotional hardship, and break FREE from their own choke-hold of pain, in record time. Since then, I’ve worked with many patients, spoken to many about this process, and developed a system of support that WORKS.
