“Want change but feel stuck? Think, feel and do things you wish you didn’t? I aim to provide a confidential, safe relationship to discuss the sacred, the profane, and everything in between – to untangle what is getting in your way of living a more fulfilling life.”

A Note From Jennifer:

Suffering may be an inevitable part of life, but I don’t believe we’re meant to suffer alone.

You may find yourself stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, struggling in your relationships, or troubled by your own mind and body. Sometimes we can know quite a lot about how we feel and behave — and still find that knowing isn’t enough to change it.

I work with adults, teens, children, and couples. My approach is psychoanalytic, curious, and engaged. I’m interested not only in what is happening in your life, but in what may be happening underneath — the feelings, conflicts, relationships, and experiences that have shaped how you experience yourself and others, often outside of your awareness.

This kind of work asks us to take your inner life seriously. That doesn’t mean we have to be solemn about it. Humor, creativity, play, contradiction, and surprise can all be part of the work. So can the parts of ourselves we’d rather not know about.

My clinical interests include trauma and its effects on the body, relationships, and sense of self; couples work; creativity; neurodivergence; and the complex ways we adapt to ourselves, other people, and the world around us. I have advanced training in the treatment of trauma and couples therapy.

I am an adult psychoanalyst and graduate of the New Center for Psychoanalysis (NCP). I am currently a psychoanalytic candidate at the Psychoanalytic Center of California (PCC) in its Infant, Child, and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Program (ICAPP), continuing my training in psychoanalytic work with children and adolescents. I hold a bachelor’s degree in English and a Master of Education from UCLA, as well as a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary.

I am also the founder of Interior Design Firm: A Psychotherapy Practice. Although the therapists in our practice bring different specialties, backgrounds, and ways of working, we share an interest in thinking deeply about our patients and ourselves through a psychoanalytic lens.

I have a deep respect for the human mind and for your unique experience. I’m comfortable with the complicated.
