Counseling Team

Jennifer has a master’s degree in disability studies from California Baptist University, a Master of Divinity from Hope International University, and a master’s in counseling from Hope International University, and is currently working towards completing the three thousand hours for licensing. She has been on staff at Crossroads as the Pastor of Disabilities for about fourteen years and for the last six years as the Pastor of Care Ministries. She is compassionate, solution-focused, and client-centered in her approach and considers it a privilege to walk alongside people throughout their healing process. Jennifer is also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and believes that healing from past traumas is possible. Jennifer’s life experience also gives her a unique edge, in that she grew up with her mom having a disability, she overcame addiction herself, and she became a widow through the loss of her husband. With these experiences, she has a deep understanding and belief that, given the right tools, people can heal and recover from whatever they may be experiencing and/or going through. Two fun facts about Jennifer are that she loves dogs (she currently has three) and she loves frequenting Disneyland as much as possible.
