Here's what I believe: Your emotionality is one of your greatest resources. When we can understand our emotions as information, not instructions, we have access to all of the rich insights they provide to us about ourselves and the world around us. As a holistically oriented therapist, my work weaves together Western psychological theory with Eastern traditions of spirituality, infusing sessions with practices to assist you in developing self compassion, mindfulness, Emotional Fluency and a reconnection to your body and it’s wisdom.

The Pacific Anxiety Group (PAG) was founded in 2012 by four Stanford-trained clinical psychologists with expertise in the treatment of anxiety, stress, and depression, and a passion for bringing evidence-based treatment to our clients. Over the past eleven years, we have grown into a thriving group practice dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally-attuned, effective treatment to help children, teens, adults, couples, and families overcome obstacles and lead more fulfilling lives. We specialize in treatments that are known to help make a difference, including cognitive-behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Do you feel stuck and exhausted by all the cycles of "what if" that take up space in your mind? Are you struggling with anxiety or negative body image?

My work strives to help individuals struggling with anxiety, body image, disordered eating, and relationships to heal, learn supportive coping skills, and feel secure in their lives.

I strive to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and honest space where we can explore your needs and goals in therapy.

Resolving Relationship Problems: If you are reading this, you have already decided to try and improve things. In therapy, we will work together to help find relational solutions to sudden crisis points or ongoing chronic issues. I use interactive, supportive, and result driven counseling to change painful patterns that make it hard to establish loving connections as well as helping to solve communication breakdowns in current relationships. With focused dynamic therapy, you can undo destructive relational patterns and build healthy connections.

I think I work best with clients who are motivated to address specific issues in their lives that hold them back in some way. Having a goal and wanting more for themselves in their personal lives, and work lives, gives the therapy the direction and purpose that increases its effectiveness. People are complex and everyone deserves to be treated as unique individuals with their own set of needs, preferences and interpersonal styles. My job is to fit into their psychological world to understand how to help them best--an "informed collaboration" that is purposeful and intentional.

Are you tired of feeling that your anxiety/depression is in the driver’s seat and your innate creativity is held captive in the trunk?

I am an expert in supporting creative folx who are feeling stuck, anxious, and alone and with no outlet, to feel seen and heard, and give expression to unspoken parts of themselves, to get clear on their needs, wants and their truth. Moving from a place of unbearable pain and stuckness to living full, creative, purpose-driven lives.

Hello! I work with adolescents, parents, adults and couples. I create a safe space for individuals to explore and learn more about themselves. I aim to understand each individual's motivations and experience. I provide clients with insights that will help them get clarity about their circumstances in hopes of reducing symptoms. I provide psycho-education about the client's behavior and help them connect the links between their thoughts, feelings and actions. I utilize my clinical experience to determine what interventions and theoretical orientation makes the most sense for each individual to help support their progress.

There is no precedent in recent history for what is happening right now in our communities, and in our world. The COVID-19 pandemic is necessitating limited social contact with strict guidelines for personal health. We are all anxious and worried about ourselves, our families and friends, and the whole social nexus that we are immersed in. More than anything else, we need to be both accepting and flexible in order to successfully manage the complications we are now faced with. I have 40+ years experience helping people gain strength, focus, and the confidence to overcome obstacles that impede success.

I'm a clinical psychologist who is dedicated to empowering and helping people live fuller and more enriching lives. I have a supportive and collaborative treatment approach and adapt the therapeutic process to the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each individual. In doing so, I integrate different treatment modalities and evidence-based practices to help people become unstuck and improve their overall well-being. I'm skilled in treating a variety of presenting issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationships, career stress/change, self-esteem, identity, and other cultural-related stressors.

Trauma, relationships, anxiety. I help people feel relief and deeper understanding from any and/or all of these, and whatever is coming up for you because of them. Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, run-down, in a rut or stuck are all great reasons to come to therapy. It's also okay if you're not exactly sure what's going on - but you know you want to feel better. I have a deep understanding of how our past affects our present and where patterns come from. Taking time to unpack them is a crucial step to breaking free and living the life you want - something I know that you are truly capable of.

I specialize in treating survivors of narcissistic abuse, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. I am also very interested in what it means and how to become, a fully functioning human being, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. In this world that has been accelerating at a pace beyond our expectations and sometimes our ability to cope,how do we find peace, happiness and fulfillment, or at least the absence of anxiety and depression? Locked within our own personal stories lie the answer to these questions. Whatever "pathology" you present with can be turned into a "path" toward healing.

Hi! I am Jenna. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Francisco. I meet with clients online, so if you are located anywhere in California, we can work together. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process of honoring each individual's unique experience to foster growth, healing, and change. I provide a safe, authentic, confidential, judgment-free environment. I draw from a Cognitive Behavioral and Client-Centered approach, believing that the client is an expert on their life. My approach is collaborative, genuine, caring, and directive.

As a queer and bisexual, nonbinary femme, 2nd generation Korean American, I specialize in working with those who identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, adult children of immigrants, gender expansive, nonbinary, and transgender. I tend to work with folks who create their own paths in life - ones that may diverge from the norm. Oftentimes, these paths emerge from a place of necessity, without much support, and lacking a roadmap or guide.
