What I Help With.
Burnout that makes even small tasks feel overwhelming
Constant self-criticism, perfectionism, or imposter feelings
Old wounds or trauma that leave you stuck in the past
Anxiety that shows up as overthinking, people-pleasing, or sleepless nights
Big life shifts - breakups, new jobs, divorce, moving, or starting college
Relationships that feel more draining than supportive
About Me
I’m Jen, a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#153153) living & working in Santa Monica, CA. I offer both in-person and virtual therapy for adults, teens, and couples.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by navigating high-pressure careers and complex family dynamics. These experiences have fueled my passion for helping others find strength, clarity, and a clearer sense of what they want.
In our work, I’ll help you notice the patterns you’re caught in - not from a place of judgment, but with curiosity. We’ll explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how you move through the world, and where you could benefit from a shift or different perspective. That could mean looking at how the past shows up in the present, tuning into what actually feels good (which often gets overlooked), or getting specific on what you need but haven’t been able to ask for…and learning how to ask for it with confidence.
