Great to meet you!

I’m Jennifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California, offering telehealth therapy to adults across the state. With over ten years of experience, I support people facing anxiety, depression, big life changes, and the unique challenges that come with becoming a new parent. While I love working with postpartum parents, I’m here for anyone navigating transitions, relationship shifts, or the ups and downs of daily life. My focus is on creating a warm, safe space where you feel truly heard and supported as we work toward the life you want.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. I integrate person-centered therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, trauma-informed practices, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership, with curiosity, compassion, and a touch of humor when it’s needed. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths and build tools that are practical and sustainable for your daily life.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a clearer sense of next steps. You can expect to walk away with practical tools for managing stress, deepened self-awareness, and a renewed sense of self-compassion. My hope is that therapy not only helps you navigate challenges but also helps you feel more connected to yourself and confident in your ability to handle what life brings.
