Teletherapy for Mission - San Francisco, CA

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 10+ years of experience working with adults and adolescents. I specialize in working with anxiety and depression, trauma, work stress, relationship issues, phobias, and sexual dysfunction. I’m also passionate about working with parents and parents-to-be. I offer specific tools and strategies that help with changing deeply held beliefs, strong feelings, and old habits.

Difficult feelings can be a gateway for personal growth. I work with many individuals struggling with depression and anxiety, trauma, problems in relationships, stress management, and life transitions. My approach is to help you explore those difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences which prevent you from being comfortable with who you would like to be, what you want in your life, and the kinds of relationships that you want to have with others.

I am an associate Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in sex therapy, harm reduction, trauma-informed care, PTSD, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I am currently accepting both couples and individuals at my practice. My work is non-judgmental, client focused, sex positive, open to those practicing ethical non-monogamy and polyamory, kink-positive, SWer supportive, and welcomes humans of all cultural backgrounds. I love to help people navigate through their relationships, both casual and serious, and offer support and care in making tough changes or realizations. Together, we can explore shame, identity, and what scares or challenges us.

Therapy provides a special opportunity to slow down and focus on what's most important to you, with skillful guidance and support. I create a nonjudgmental environment for you to explore the difficulties, heartaches, old wounds, stuck places, or joys and celebrations of your life. This process involves listening to the wisdom of your body and emotions as well as your mind. Collaborating with you, I will support you to develop a more intimate relationship with yourself and your many facets, to expand your capacity to satisfyingly connect with others, and to illuminate and transform what blocks you from living your best life.

You've spent so much time and energy worrying about food and your body. You often find yourself obsessing over every bite, and binge eating in secret has become a distressing pattern. The guilt and shame that follow only make you feel worse. You wonder, "Will this ever get better? Is this just my life now?" You're afraid to ask for help, fearing judgment or misunderstanding. Maybe you've tried opening up to someone before, but their response left you feeling even more isolated. You aren't alone, and you are not beyond help. I am a therapist specialized in addressing issues related to body image, disordered eating, and self-esteem.

Embarking on your therapeutic journey is a collaborative endeavor. You are the expert on yourself, and I am here as your ally to support you along the way. I work extensively with trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, LGBTQ+ concerns, and phase-of-life challenges. Together, we will craft a personalized approach that suits your unique needs. Not everyone wants to work on trauma, and that is okay. Our time together is for your needs, not my agenda.

Hi there, I'm Jennifer! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California. I have experience working with all ages including children, adolescents, families, and adults who have anxiety, depression, psychosis, substance abuse, a trauma history, and history of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I utilize brief solution-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), client-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing to accommodate my clients' needs.

Are you and your partner stuck in a repeating conflict cycle? Are you struggling with intimacy? Would you like to feel more authentic or whole in connecting with your partner and others? I work with couples and individuals to create a warm and safe relationship where they can explore who they are, why they are, and what is in the way of their intimacy and thriving.
