Jennifer is a relationship/dating coach and clinical psychologist who offers coaching, counseling, and educational workshops for singles and couples. She is passionate about helping people build satisfying relationships. Jennifer decided, even before high school, that she wanted to be a psychologist who helped people with their relationships. As a teenager, she noticed that relationships were important to people, but they often weren’t very good at them!

So, she attended the University of Denver, where she majored in psychology, completed a two-year research-focused honors program, and graduated summa cum laude. During those four years she worked at the University’s Center for Marital and Family Studies, where she carefully studied couples communication behavior.

She continued on to receive her PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Kansas where both her master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation focused on understanding infidelity. Her training in couples and relationships continued during her internship at the University of Wisconsin where she trained under a nationally known couples and family psychologist. She also completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Rochester’s Medical Center, where she studied family psychology and provided therapy to individuals, families, and couples.

Jennifer has attended numerous training workshops to keep up to date on the latest tools and techniques for helping singles and couples find happiness. These workshops were developed by experts in the field of relationships and included: the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP), John Gottman’s Marital Clinic, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, PAIRS program, Healing After the Affair, Stepping Together for Step-Families, and Hot Monogamy. In addition, she has been a volunteer for three years at the Smart Marriages yearly conference, where she has attended over 60 presentations on innovative methods for helping relationships succeed.

Currently, Jennifer is the author of a monthly relationship advice column for The Rock Magazine. In addition, she pens quarterly dating book reviews for Savvy Singles Magazine. She also teaches dating workshops at Singles University in Denver.
