Are you finding it difficult to express your needs with someone in your life? Are you concerned that you and your loved one keep misunderstanding each other due to differences in cultural or gendered communication styles? Maybe you're going through a life transition that's adding to your stress levels, and leaving you both feeling in the dark about how to give and receive support? Or perhaps you are happy in your partnership, but are eager to grow together and deepen your bond even further? I can shine a light on those areas of difficulty for you both that remain obscured from view, and illuminate a new way forward.

Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.

I am passionate about helping people find the freedom to live as their most authentic self. Oftentimes the tension, frustration, or pain we feel comes from old ways of thinking or being that no longer serve us. In our work together, I can guide you to access the parts of yourselves that have the strength, resources, and resiliency we need to endure and overcome our suffering.

Hi there, my name is Jennifer, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Temecula, California. I work with young adults via telehealth, specializing in anxiety, depression and life transitions using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based approaches. I believe authenticity and genuine connection are equally as important in the therapeutic process as the modalities that we use.

I believe if we can transform the couple’s relationships, we are not only helping them, but also helping them and their families for generations to come. Also, most of people’s toughest struggles are related to their relational issues so, as the relationship improves, the person's individual problems seem less challenging.

Therapy is a joint effort. With a compassionate and empathetic approach, I provide trauma-informed therapy, creating a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. I work with clients that are struggling to get unstuck in their healing from pronounced trauma, PTSD, and C-PTSD. Often, clients come to me after years of talk therapy, unable to make any progress. I stay up-to-date on the latest research and insights of trauma informed care. After treatment, you will be able to move through your traumatic responses and live as a more integrated You.

Are you grieving the reproductive journey you envisioned? Struggling with the gap between expectations and reality, compounded by today’s political climate? You may feel sleep-deprived, overwhelmed, or trapped in heightened worry. Navigating body changes, emotions, or relationships might feel out of your control. If you're used to handling it all, this shift—balancing evolving roles in work, family, and relationships—can feel disorienting. Many women carry fears of judgment or battle guilt and shame, wondering if they’re enough. You’re not alone, and your feelings are valid.
