Therapists in San Francisco, CA

Starting therapy is a tremendous gesture of hope and self-love. It can also be scary or daunting to know where to begin. Whatever is bringing you to therapy right now- a break up, a loss, the overwhelm of being highly sensitive, the gut wrenching challenges of fertility struggles, the anticipation and transitions of pregnancy- will be explored with openness, curiosity and acceptance. We all struggle in life and are not meant to do it alone. Things really do get easier when we share what is hard with others.

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.

We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Adults with ADD/ADHD. Receiving a thorough assessment from a therapist specializing in ADD/ADHD is an important step towards managing ADD/ADHD. Not every person who receives a diagnosis has every symptom of ADD/ADHD or experiences the severity of symptoms to the same degree. As part of your assessment we will determine what symptoms are affecting your life and focus treatment on your particular presentation of ADD/ADHD. Our program is an "out of network provider" for all insurance plans. We can provide the necessary documentation to submit if your insurance accepts out of network

It is normal to go through periods of struggle, conflict, or loneliness. You don't need to struggle alone. I specialize in working with students, young adults, early and mid-career professionals, and parents. Specific areas of expertise include job and academic pressure, family and career issues, work/life balance, building healthy relationships, major life transitions, divorce, loss, parenting challenges, and healthy use of technology. I use warmth, compassion and humor to build a trusting relationship and help you break free of patterns and behaviors that get in in the way of living and experiencing a full life.

Whether borderline, narcissistic or simply toxic, wounded and self-centered parents create wounded children. And these children grow up without the basics of warmth and kindness, acceptance and encouragement. In order to survive, we adapt to the needs of our demanding parents. That might mean we learn to parent our parent. Or we develop antennae and quickly respond to their changing moods and needs, simultaneously ignoring our own. We hope if we do and say the right thing long enough, then one day they will be strong enough to finally take care of us. But that day may never come.

In order to make sense of the challenges that come with being human, some turn to psychotherapy for clarity on the things that may be troubling them. The therapeutic process is something that aims to reorganize your inner self when certain parts are at odds with one another or with your lifestyle. It’s a process that is tailored to your specific needs and preferences, and it might lead you to feel more comfortable inside yourself, and more able to field the demands of the world.

My approach is interpersonal, both psychodynamically and existentially informed. I have been in practice for over 20 years. In my early years, I was supervised by Dr. Irvin Yalom, and he has been highly influential in my work. I believe my strengths include an ability to genuinely connect with patients in an empathic and non-judgmental manner. I help my patients explore deeper issues and patterns underlying persistent unhappiness, as well as navigate life's hurdles that may feel overwhelming.

My style is active, empowering, solution-focused, down-to-earth, non-judgmental, and humorous. My approach is collaborative — we'll work together to help identify and reach your goals. I welcome an open dialogue to create the best therapy for you as an individual. I see the immense strength, value, and potential for self-growth in each of my clients.

I am an integrative therapist, using a holistic model and techniques from somatic, relational, inter-subjective, and transpersonal psychology, as well as techniques from my own long-standing spiritual practices, such as drumming, chanting and Vipassana Buddhist meditation practice. I got my masters in Psychology with a Somatic Concentration from JFK, Orinda, CA in 1997. As LGBTQIA identified and a Pacific Islander, I know that both trauma and healing can come from our individual and cultural histories. I welcome anyone seeking growth or healing and I'm committed to healing within marginalized communities. My areas of specialty include people with histories of trauma and/or addiction, people looking to integrate spiritual experiences, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community.

I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents. My approach is warm, inviting, and client-centered. Each session, we begin with what's most present for you, following aliveness as it unfolds - moment-to-moment, wherever it leads. The process has its own intelligence and is highly trustworthy. You bring all of you - light and shadow, blessings and challenges, interests and needs - as well as whatever hurts, feels stuck, or is ready to be released or reclaimed. I bring all of me - presence and deep listening, non-judgment and curiosity, intuition, theory and tools. Together, we co-create ways of working that are unique to you.

Our work together will create a space to gently examine and explore your inner life. I work with clients to create a safe and resilient healing space.

My work with you begins with the recognition that it takes courage to seek help. You may have questions about why you feel the way you feel and why you do the things you do. I believe you are not defined by your symptoms. Whether you struggle with love, work, or relationships, whether you are in crisis or you have received a mental health diagnosis, I believe that your true desires, conflicts, and needs are meaningful and worth actively getting to know. From our first session together, I meet you where you are.

As a therapist I promise not to give you advice, tell you what to do, pretend to know more about you than you do. As a therapist I promise to sincerely listen, to empower you, help you figure it out, believe in you.
