Hi, I'm Jennifer!

I'm so glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with women navigating anxiety - racing thoughts at night, a mental list that never quite quiets, guilt that creeps in even when you're doing so much. Many of the women I work with give so much to everyone else that there's little left for themselves - the overachievers, perfectionists, people who struggle to say no or ask for help - moms included, but not only moms. As a second-generation Asian American, I understand the added weight of cultural expectations, being the one who holds it all together and isn't supposed to need help.

That anxiety is often tangled up in our relationships too. I help women navigate family dynamics that feel loaded, set boundaries with people they love, and build relationships that feel more mutual and less like something they're carrying alone.

My hope is to help you soften the anxious noise, feel more at ease with boundaries, and find your way back to yourself. I've spent over a decade in this work, and what stays the same is that I show up as myself, and I want you to feel safe doing the same.

Starting therapy can feel like one more thing on a full plate, so I'm proud of you for being here. My hope is that you leave feeling a little lighter, clearer, and more like you.

My style is warm and approachable, and I mostly draw from a person-centered perspective meaning I follow your lead, trusting that you know yourself best. I also bring in CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT when helpful, always shaped around you. I also draw on process-oriented therapy, which means I pay close attention to what's happening between us in the room, since the patterns that show up there often mirror the ones you're navigating in your outside relationships. There's no script here, just care and curiosity about your story.

In our first session, I want to get to know you and what you're carrying; what the anxiety feels like, where you notice it most, what makes boundaries hard. We'll take our time. No pressure to have it figured out, just come as you are. This is your space, and I'll be right here with you.
