Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
LMFT 43989
Jennifer is a licensed professional who understands that even the most capable of us have times when life becomes challenging and uncertain. Jennifer works collaboratively with her clients, creating a warm, supportive environment so clients feel able to explore their lives and concerns. Many of us have old narratives and distorted ways of thinking that no longer serve us. We might have harmful patterns of behavior and communication developed as ways to cope with childhood difficulties or trauma. These can produce ineffective relational dynamics that cause conflict with others. Jennifer uses her 20+ years of clinical experience and varied clinical tools and approaches to help her clients heal their pasts, regulate emotions and learn new skills and behaviors that can produce more satisfying lives and relationships.
