Hi! I'm Jenny and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to folks in California. I currently have a few spots open in my schedule: bi-weekly on Mondays at 2 PM, bi-weekly on Tuesdays at 5:15 PM, and weekly appointments at 12:15 PM and 3 PM on Tuesdays. If one of those times work for you, please book an intake on my calendar (the intake does not have to be your regular appointment time). I'm queer, a parent, and a first-generation American. I had a long career in social service, social justice, and non-profit leadership and management work when I made the transition to social work and therapy. I spent years working with child abuse and trauma. I worked with many families going through very difficult life moments and traveled alongside their paths as they faced issues of physical abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, and substance use. Working with both children and adults, I've interfaced with every system out there---prisons, schools, hospitals, social services, and courts. I've intimately seen what these systems offer and the challenges they create. I hope that therapy is both effective and real---authentic and truly useful. I know that finding a therapist that feels right can be daunting and challenging. The relationship between the therapist and the person seeking therapy is of central importance. I hope to create a compassionate space for you that feels safe, warm, and supportive. This should be a space where you feel seen, heard, safe, and comfortable. I want to help you create a place where you feel the comfort and strength to explore what has been scariest or hardest for you and create the change you're searching for.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will spend time getting to know you and the different aspects of your life. We will explore what has brought you to therapy at this time and what you hope to get out of therapy. I always want to go at the pace that feels most comfortable to you. It is really important that you feel safe, understood, and seen, so we will take the time it needs to create that warm space for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I strive to be real with my clients and I truly care about every person I work with. I work hard to help each person as much as I can, even if that means finding you resources or referrals. I want to truly help you with your needs. I think it is also important to note that our upbringing, experiences, relationships, and current life stressors impact our well-being and so do systemic issues. I strive to critically examine the way issues of racism, white supremacy, colonialism, fat phobia, ableism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, islamophobia, anti-semitism, and other forms of oppression impact all of us.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I truly love working and connecting with all people. I have worked with individuals with many different identities and stories including folks of color, different nationalities and immigration stories, folks with intergenerational trauma, different economic backgrounds, gender, and sexuality. I work with individuals who have faced different traumas and stressors in their life, individuals with struggle with self-doubt and a strong inner critic, and folks with big and heavy existential questions. Many people who I work with are trying to regain a stronger sense of self, resolve deeply held and no longer beneficial patterns of behavior, explore the impacts of trauma on their lives, and people who would like to reconnect to themselves and what is most important to them.
