As a licensed therapist in California with over four decades of professional experience, I bring a depth of understanding and compassion to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice is rooted in creating a welcoming, affirming space where clients can explore their unique experiences and personal growth.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship dynamics, and personal identity. My approach is holistic and client-centered, focusing on empowering individuals to develop stronger self-understanding, communication skills, and emotional resilience.
With extensive experience supporting diverse populations, I am particularly committed to working with individuals navigating complex personal experiences, including LGBTQ+ concerns, workplace challenges, relationship dynamics, and personal identity exploration. My therapeutic style emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaborative growth, helping clients develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being and personal transformation.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great therapist
Jennifer has guided me so much in my healing journey. Extremely grateful. I paused my subscription due to traveling, but I’m excited to continue working with her and using Better Help.
Jennifer was on time and she was very accommodating. She gave me a lot of insight and made me think about certain ways that I needed to approach my situation
My therapist helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. Her guidance, thoughtful feedback, and supportive advice gave me the clarity and strength I needed to move forward. I’m truly grateful for her help.
Jennifer has been a great help to me during this tough time of transition. She is very understanding, caring, and open-minded. Highly recommended
I have greatly enjoyed my sessions with her, and I have implemented a lot of of the things she has said into my daily activities. I’m looking forward to doing more with her and seeing if I can better myself.
