About me

My name is Jennifer, and I have been practicing Marriage and Family Therapy for 11+ years. I currently work out of a private practice in my home and specialize in treatment for parenting issues and emotional regulation. I practice PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Training) which is a training for parents to help deal with emotional and behavioral issues for their children. I also utilize skills based training from DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) which covers such areas as: distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These skills can be helpful in managing anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships and many other difficulties people may face. I also help clients going through transitional periods in their life and/or experiencing grief and loss. I also have experience helping with trauma in various forms including but not limited to: childhood abuse, adult abuse, loss of loved one, divorce, chronic illness, etc.

I believe that many of our struggles we face can be lessened, and we can even grow and learn from them. These struggles often take place during transitional times in our life (graduation from college, getting married, having babies, moving, divorce, empty nesting, retirement, etc). Therapy services can really help people to manage difficult emotions and experiences as well as move through transitions.

I have a Master's from Bethel Seminary in Marriage and Family Therapy. I completed the requirements for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as took an extra year of courses in Bible and Theology. I am originally from Minnesota but moved to Southern California following graduation from graduate school. I met my husband here in California and now have 3 year old twin boys.
