I am a Vietnamese American therapist that has a passion for working with couples and individuals. Navigating relationships can be hard! If you are a couple or an individual in a relationship with multiple cultural backgrounds you may even have additional challenges. Some of these challenges can include different values and beliefs, frequent misunderstandings, and missed opportunities for connection. Sometimes we can naturally fall into patterns of unhelpful communication. In my work with couples, I hope to support you both in feeling safe in opening up about your needs and being open to feeling heard and understood by one another.

We support families working through grief, change, trauma, transitions, and more.

Our relationships with others and growing up include really profound and beautiful experiences; and, our experiences can also leave us feeling stuck, afraid, and angry. This can be especially true when we are BIPOC-identified, are the children of immigrants or first-generation immigrants ourselves, identify as LGBTQIA+, and/or have other marginalized identities. Common concerns endorsed by my clients include imposter syndrome, perfectionism, body image issues, difficulty with safety and trust in relationships, low self-esteem, and persistent anxiety and depression.

Weathering the many stressors, anxieties, and turbulent waves of emotions that life has a way of throwing at us can take a tremendous toll on our ability to maintain a sense of stability. In the face of these challenges, it's easy to find ourselves slipping into patterns of behavior that may offer momentary relief, but only increase our suffering in the long term and take us away from being the people we want to be. What if there was a way that we could learn to exist more harmoniously in the face of our pain and not feel we had to compromise the things that mattered most to us?

Many of my clients are those who tend to give too much, disconnect from their own needs and desires, feel depressed and anxious, and/or experience chronic pain. They are often highly sensitive and imaginative, helpers and healers, with literary, artistic, or philosophical leanings. They are all seeking to heal inner conflicts and relationship problems rooted in early attachment wounds or traumatic experiences. Most importantly, my clients have come to recognize it's time to do their inner work in order to create the outer life they want, and they continue to grow and deepen into their innate wisdom long after therapy has ended.

Three guiding principles underscore my work with people and my own growth. Essentially, we are constantly in a state of potential for change and doing the best we can in life. In addition, I view negative thoughts and feelings that develop into anxiety, depression, and low self-worth as learned responses that serve a purpose; to cope with or protect against pain. And most importantly, happiness is a choice we can make once we have the skills to respond (instead of just react) to life's challenges.

My name is E. Penny Jacobo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I believe many of our problems in life can be managed by changing our own thoughts and perspectives. We are usually more capable and powerful than we give ourselves credit for and I aim to help others find and use their own inner strength to solve their problems. I work with clients to identify cognitive distortions and change them. I also believe that taking the time to pause and be present at the moment is crucial to creating insight into our lives and our problems.
