Missionary in the Czech Republic
The invasion of Ukraine changed our world as our teammates fled their homes and then went to work providing humanitarian aid to other refugees.
I serve our missionary kids, but do not have specific training in trauma care. I was in desperate need of some resources to offer these precious kids, and other Ukrainian refugees, who were coming through our hubs.
I reached out to other experts and did research online. I spent time with the kids, playing processing games and creating an environment where they could feel safe and heard, but my resources were scattered and disjointed.
I was so grateful for Jen’s specific, practical advice and resources for walking with kids in the midst of crisis and trauma
Jen packed a lot of amazing resources and wisdom into a short amount of time on Zoom. She gave me lots of activities I could do with them, and helped me understand the meaning and impact of those kinds of activities. She was succinct and specific, and also kind and generous.
Jen helped me feel more empowered and equipped for serving kids through art.
It was a gift to me when I, myself, was under a lot of stress. Thank you Jen.
Jen is a great listener and helps me think about things in a positive way or differently. I leave our sessions feeling refreshed and empowered.

Jennifer has significantly helped me to make progress on my personal goals. To understand variables in perceptions people have & to work through issues & grief in a Godly, inspiring way.

I am a successful surface pattern designer and art teacher who decided to go back to school and earn my master’s degree in Art Therapy.
Over the years I have come to realize how vital my creative “flow” state is to my peace of mind and overall health and I yearn to share this with others.
I wondered if I was on the right track and if there was anything therapeutic for others in what I was already doing, so I booked a meeting with Jen.
She kindly reviewed my live sessions, pinpointed all my strengths, and gave me amazing tips to enhance my program. She reassured me that, with a few tweaks, what I had was applicable to therapeutic art sessions. With her encouragement, I’m so excited to dive into this wonderful world of Art Therapy knowing that I will be able to help others with what has helped me.
Meeting with Jen was a tremendous boost to my confidence!
I recommend Jen's services, first of all because of her experience, but also because she is generous in her knowledge and the advice she provides! She is very encouraging in recognizing one's strengths and abilities. I am very grateful for her words and services!
Her advice and her whole consultation have been priceless for me!
Jen is an amazing listener. She heard my ideas and routed them in the right direction!
I would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I LOVE coming to therapy! I look forward to coming to it every time. Talking about things that have happened and knowing that someone cares and listens with feedback is so helpful. Ever since I started I have been better in my life. How to control it with depression and anxiety.

Mrs. Alward has been the best counselor I could have ever asked for. I definitely recommend her to others.

Jennifer has been a huge help in me balancing my life. I would recommend her to anyone struggling. She is always willing to listen and encouraged me to make changes to improve my life. Thank you so much Jennifer for all your help!

Jen helped me figure out what changes I needed to make in my life to relieve stress. She has been a great help and a great listener! When we had our live call session she was understanding when my kids needed me. She was very patient with my life’s craziness.

I can't believe the change in my daughter this week, like a burden has been lifted off. The last month was brutal, but she's back now. Thanks for whatever you did at that last meeting. She's talking with me again.

I’d been speaking with Jen for about a year for anxiety and stress when I had to take time away for financial reasons. I’ve recently come back and it’s like we left off just yesterday. Now she’s helping with more areas of my life as well. She listens and truly seems to care about how she responds and helps.
