Tightness in the chest. Knots in the stomach. Lumps in the throat. Your body tells the story of someone who works hard, cares deeply for others, stays five steps ahead… while secretly, you're drowning in anxiety, expectations, and self-doubt. Maybe you've told yourself to avoid your feelings, but it hasn't worked. Maybe you've even tried therapy before, and it didn't change anything. If this sounds like you, please know that you're not alone, and you're not broken; change is always possible.

Hi, I'm Jenn. As an ex-tech employee and child of immigrants, I understand the loneliness of striving for perfection, while struggling in silence. I know the unique stress of being stuck in "survival mode", as you yearn for peace. My style of therapy treats your mind and body, helping you graduate from “doing” and “avoiding”, to “feeling” and “healing”.

Using modern approaches like IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and Narrative Therapy, we will help you write new stories about your life that increase confidence. We will reset your nervous system, reducing agitation & increasing calm. If you're ready to feel better, please reach out today for a free consult call (currently waitlist only, through Oct. 2026).

Many clients have out-of-network benefits, which means their insurance plan covers anywhere from 40-70 percent of fees, for out-of-network therapists. If this applies to you, I'm happy to submit Superbills (invoices) on your behalf, which lets you receive reimbursement checks from your insurance.

BIPOC Therapist Coffee Chats

Hosted by

Jenn Hourani

This free, virtual coffee series is for therapists who share diverse backgrounds and client-affirming values in clinical practice. As of today, our group is oriented towards IFS, EMDR, Narrative, and Somatic ways of working, but we welcome colleagues practicing other modalities. Whether we're discussing client cases or catching up on our lives, this space provides meaningful dialogue in a communal setting for clinicians of color. We meet on the 4th Saturday of each month, from 11 am PST to 12 pm PST. Licensed therapists from different states/time zones welcomed.

Somatics for Non-Somatic Therapists

Hosted by

Jenn Hourani

Are you a therapist who is curious about somatic work? Through this virtual educational group, you will learn simple, body-based tools you can immediately start bringing into your sessions. This group focuses on two areas: 1) noticing your own nervous system responses, as a therapist, and 2) helping your clients track what's happening their bodies, during and outside of, talk therapy sessions. Through thoughtful discussions and experiential learning, you will gain practical skills to help bridge the gap between "talking" and "feeling". Please note: this is a professional growth group, not group therapy.
