“Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You’re gonna love it.”

  ——- Monica Geller

Hi, I’m Jen! I think psychotherapy is valuable and effective in part because it is a space and time just for you where you can feel seen, heard, and validated. Together, we can identify what’s not working in your life and work towards positive change and growth. I can provide you with the tools and strategies to manage life’s difficulties. Therapy is also an opportunity for deep self-exploration and cultivating authenticity that can guide you throughout your life.

I work with teen and adult individuals, couples, and families. I approach each session with a friendly, relational, humanistic, and informal style. I believe that humor is an essential component of therapy and encourage clients to laugh between 2-7 times during each session. Whether you have been diagnosed with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, or simply want to explore these topics, I may be a good match. I also love exploring motivation, gender identity, sexuality (including polyamory-informed perspectives), life’s meaning and purpose, parenting, and relationships. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that feels like a good fit for you.

As a psychotherapist, I bring a diverse range of educational and experiential backgrounds to my work. I hold a BA in Art and an MA in Counseling from the University of Washington and Palo Alto University, respectively. I have also undergone and continue to receive training in various modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Art Therapy, and Gottman Method couples work.

My commitment is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment for my clients to explore their experiences and work towards greater fulfillment and well-being.
