Jenn Lief, MFT Intern

All people have the ability to let go and the collaborative relationship between client and therapist can assist with this. Jenn believes strongly in the family systems theory that looks at not only the individual but the system created by the family as a whole. Jenn works alongside her clients to empower them with the tools to stay more connected to both themselves and their partners. Her work with clients is strengths based, person centered and recovery oriented. She uses a goal centered approach to determine and dissolve the blocks between clients and deeper connection.

Jenn is a student in her third year of masters study in Marriage and Family Therapy at North Central University. She is also a certified business coach through the ICF with advanced training in coaching from IPEC. Jenn also holds a BA in Human Ecology, an MA in Liberal Studies and is the recipient of The Thomas J. Watson Foundation Fellowship.
