Carelon Health IPA of California (CHIPA) Therapists in San Clemente, CA
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside adults and older teens as they navigate life’s challenges. My approach is relational and exploratory—I believe real healing happens when we feel seen, understood, and safe enough to be vulnerable. I work with clients experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Hello, my name is Jennifer, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. Over the past 17 years, I have predominantly worked with children, adolescents, and their families. I specialize in working with this population. My goal is not just to treat the child, but also to equip the parents to help their child at home. My goal is "parent as therapist." While I love my time each week with my client, the parents are the ones doing the real work in the home. As a parent, I know that one of the most difficult feelings is seeing your child struggling and not knowing how to help.

I would love to offer you tools to become an active agent in bettering your life and mental health. Are you enduring grief alone? Are you a first responder or soldier who has suffered trauma? Then I understand how challenging it can be to navigate these emotions. My lived life experience includes being a Firefighter/Paramedic for 16 years in a very busy, very diverse, metropolitan department. I am very familiar with first responders and their struggles and would like to offer the opportunity to de-stigmatize mental health for firefighters, police officers and soldiers.

At work, you’re unstoppable—solving problems, leading the way, making everyone proud. On paper, you’ve “made it.” Yet deep down, something aches. Success feels hollow, leaving an emptiness you can’t shake. You’ve chased goals at any cost, only to realize the price has been your well-being. Relationships feel like obligations, self-care is nonexistent, and burnout whispers louder each day. Unless you choose differently, the life you’ve built may end up breaking you.
