What's My Approach to Therapy?
My name is Jennifer Reeves, and I am a marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist. I have over 10 years of experience working with couples and individuals. I am compassionate and collaborative with my clients, viewing you as the expert of your own life. I like to meet you where you are, so we will dive deep when we need to, and I will back off when it's too overwhelming. I want to work with you to find solutions, and I always want to help my clients feel comfortable.
Primary issues I work with are communication concerns, excessive arguing, sexual issues, infidelity, infertility, and overall lack of connection with your partner(s). I am open and lifestyle affirming, working with the sexually and gender diverse, as well as non-monogamous and multi-partnered relationships.
My approach can be direct, and I tend to give a little bit of "homework," especially at the beginning of therapy. However, being collaborative means that if I suggest homework of some sort, I want you to tell me if it doesn't resonate or you aren't going to do it. I want you to be honest, so we can tweak it or look for a different way.
I typically have openings Monday through Saturday. I do not work on Sundays, and I do not respond to emails or phone calls between the hours of 9:00 pm and 9:00 am.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our two kids, cuddling with my two cats, two dogs, and brand new bunny, I'm on a curling league, and I love to travel. I am pretty family-oriented, and like to spend time with my parents and sisters.
I look forward to meeting you!
