Jennifer Metzler M.Ed., LMFT, LPC

It is my goal to help couples and families live their  best lives.  Life is filled with triumphs, let downs, hopes and hurdles. I am a knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate therapist and value the opportunity to work with your family through difficulties.

I have over 20 years of experience working with families.  My background is in education working with children and their families in a school setting as teacher, intervention specialist, or counselor.  The last 10 years I have spent providing professional counseling to couples and families with a variety of backgrounds and issues.  I specialize in helping others build healthy relationships that enhance family cohesiveness and improve lives.

I have gained tremendous value through professional training and experience.  However, I believe my personal life is where those skills have solidified.

I grew up in a large family which provided me with a wide variety of relationship triumphs and challenges.  I have been married for more than 25 years and have four children.  

If you ask my family about my favorite hobby, they would say that helping people, and finding the most effective ways to do so, ranks high.  I also enjoy reading,  riding my bike, travel, and writing.

I utilize many of the interventions in my personal life that I share with my clients.  In my work, it is important to tailor treatment to you and your family's specific desires and needs.

I am always open to your questions and concerns and would love the opportunity to help you live your best life.
