THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA
You’ve lived enough life to know yourself pretty well.
And then something changes.
The anxiety gets louder. Your relationships ask different things of you. Your body feels different. The things you’ve handled for years don’t feel quite the same anymore.
We can start with what you’ve been noticing.
Your life does not arrive in neat little categories.
Anxiety gets tangled up with relationships. The way you grew up shows up in the family you have now. Caring for other people affects how much you have left for yourself. Perimenopause can turn the volume up on things that were already there.
I’m interested in how all of it fits together.
We’ll look at what’s happening now, the patterns that have been around longer, and the things your mind and body have been trying to tell you.
Sometimes it’s nice to actually go somewhere.
Online therapy is convenient, and I offer it throughout California. I also think there’s something to be said for leaving your house.
You drive somewhere. You close the door behind you. For fifty minutes, nobody needs anything from you.
Then you go back to your life.
I offer in-person individual therapy from my office in Los Alamitos, California.
The things we can talk about
Life has a way of bringing several things into the room at once. Anxiety and overthinking. Changes in your body or relationships. Caring for aging parents while your children still need you. People-pleasing, old family dynamics, grief, boundaries, or simply realizing that something you've lived with for years doesn't feel quite the same anymore.
My work has a particular focus on women navigating midlife, perimenopause, caregiving, anxiety, and complicated relationship patterns, but we don't need to decide which category you belong in. We'll start with what's actually happening in your life.
I’m interested in the things you notice.
The way your shoulders change around a certain person. The conversation you replay on the drive home. The immediate relief when plans get canceled. The answer you give before you’ve had time to ask yourself what you actually want.
Those things tell us something.
My approach combines evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, nervous-system awareness, and attention to your body and relationships. If intuition, spirituality, or questions of meaning are part of how you understand yourself, they’re welcome too.
Nothing has to be more mystical than it is.
This stays true to Jennifer's description of her approach as evidence-based and practical while incorporating mindfulness, nervous-system awareness, self-trust, intuition, and meaning when those things resonate.
Therapy with me is a conversation.
I’m warm, curious, and involved. I’ll ask questions, tell you what I’m noticing, and help us make connections between what’s happening now and things that have been around much longer.
You don’t need to make your feelings sound reasonable before you tell me about them. We can work with what’s actually there.
And yes, we’ll probably laugh sometimes. You’re still a person while we’re talking about difficult things.
I think a lot about peace.
Not being happy all the time. Life doesn’t work that way.
I mean knowing yourself well enough to recognize your patterns, trust your judgment, and understand what belongs to you and what doesn’t.
Life will continue being complicated. I want you to feel more grounded in yourself while you’re living it.
Peace, self-trust, understanding patterns, and knowing what is and isn't hers to carry are central to how Jennifer describes the goals of her work.
