Hello there! Let’s Discover Your Holistic Healing Practice Together~
My name is Jennifer. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#161496) in California, & I believe each person is a complex, creative being needing daily practices that heal & nurture mind, body, spirit, & relationships in order to experience ease, well-being, & fulfillment through life.
I currently have openings! For new clients seeking individual mental health therapy / individual hypnotherapy online. I am also soon to offer relationship therapy services.
I specialize in treating complex (relational) trauma, grief & loss, stress management, mood dysregulation (depression to mania), & anxiety.
“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, or should, or need to do it alone.”
– Lisa Olivera, Therapist, Writer, & Mother
Looking at Ourselves Holistically
Click on each aspect of ourselves as human beings to read how, through therapy, we focus on fostering a healthy expression of each aspect.
-
Through therapy, we will witness, nurture, & heal your:
thought patterns,
belief systems → behavior patterns,
sense of self
personality, character, esteem
in relationship
→ the GOAL = MENTAL CLARITY:
You are not lost, as your automatic thoughts & perceptions.
You actively witness & navigate your thought patterns moment-to-moment with ease.
Your belief systems reflect your own desired values & guide your intentional choices.
You are clear, grounded, & secure in who you are & what you can offer.
-
Through therapy, we will:
recognize & witness your emotional responses to daily life,
nurture & heal your emotional coping (holding & digestion) capacity.
→ the GOAL = EMOTIONAL FLUIDITY:
You are not your emotions. They do not overwhelm or frighten you, taking over your actions. You know your emotions just need to be truly felt & expressed.
You experience & express your emotions with steady humility, ongoing clarity, & deep respect. You know emotions, like sensations, are your body’s intelligent communication system messages.
You recognize & honor the limits of your emotional holding capacity.
You know how & with who your coping capacity opens & expands.
You take the time & space you need to allow your emotional experiences to flow & release - digest - fully from your body.
-
Through therapy, we will consider how you nurture & heal your physical health condition(s) with:
accessing physical health care resources,
& daily self-care practices,
nutrition,
physical activity,
& rest.
→ the GOAL = PHYSICAL CAPACITY:
You listen & respond to the intuitive sensations your body uses to communicate what it needs.
You choose physical health habits that empower & sustain you through each day.
You experience your physical body as capable of meeting the physical demands of your daily life.
-
Through therapy, we will nurture your:
creative life force energy —
your unique expression of life,
& what your life offers to others in the world,
sense of hope & faith in possibilities for yourself & the world.
→ the GOAL = SPIRITUAL ALIGNMENT:
You are actively creating your desired, meaningful life.
You channel your creative life force energy into honest expressions of self — possibly through:
what you say & wear,
where & how you belong, caring for who & what you love,
playing with arts (writing, music, dancing, crafting, etc.)
developing passions (in activities, sports, practices, skills, fields of expertise, etc.),
contributing to the world — a skill, a service, a product, a role, an impact, an experience
You have a clear sense of purpose that drives you through & is derived from your daily life.
You can see & put trust in a hopeful future for yourself & others. (If you can heal, so can the world.)
You believe in benevolence & connection as natural to a healthy humanity & world.
My Approach is For You If:
Your MIND is…
→ not seeing things clearly, stumbling making choices
→ in need of a new perspective on your concern
→ restless with unsure thoughts, deeply insecure
→ overwhelmed with worry, triggering anxiety
→ struggling to see beyond fear, stress, grief, or trauma
Your BODY…
→ feels unable to relax, carries a lot of unmet, unspoken needs
→ has an overanxious nervous system
→ feels hypervigilant from past traumas
→ fears being overwhelmed by your emotions, so would rather suppress or avoid them somehow
→ is needing & overly turning to comfort in unhealthy habits
Your SPIRIT…
→ feels unfulfilled, aimless, lost, unsure of your place in the world
→ is hopeless about your future, weighed down by past experiences
→ sees & feels the weight of the struggles of others across the world today
→ has lost meaning or purpose, its reason to live
→ is seeking faith, in some form
My Holistic Healing Services
For your MIND…
Regular one-on-one therapy sessions focused on understanding & improving your mental patterns — including how your thoughts interact with your emotional, behavioral, relational, & physical expression — towards clarity & lightness in your mind, & life.
For your SPIRIT…
An ~2-hour therapy session where you are guided through hypnosis into a trance so that I can guide your conscious mind & subconscious body to collaborate in understanding & healing your stubborn concerns towards your spiritual lightness & alignment.
For your EMOTIONAL BODY…
Regular couple, parent-child, or family therapy sessions focused on understanding & improving your relationship patterns with each other, especially through life’s stresses & transitions, towards a dynamic of belonging & collaborative teamwork.
Mental Health Therapy For:
Your Desired Goals
Whether you are coping with daily stress, insecurity, anxiety, depressive moods, trauma symptoms, paranoia, or grief & loss, our therapy is focused on nurturing your skills & perspectives to more effectively manage living though each day. As such, adaptive coping therapy is designed to be short-term & solution-focused towards re-establishing your day-to-day effectiveness.
Insight-oriented therapy is past- & present-focused, exploring the question of why do you behave the way you do in pursuit of your goals &/or in relationship with others now as a consequence of formative past experiences. Together we will dive into this question seeking the clarity you need to move forward no longer repeating your past patterns.
You just experienced or are still moving through a significant crisis, loss, or transition & are seeking a resourceful mental health companion to offer you a steady, supportive presence as you & your life adjust. Together we will build back up your sense of self & your life to reflect how you’ve just evolved through hardship.
Hypnotherapy for:
Your Stubborn Concerns
Hypnotherapy to get to the subconscious root of the loneliness, guilt, shame, fear, sadness, &/or anger that are on repeat in your mind & heart moment-to-moment — disrupting your effective behaviors & choices towards your goals in life — towards clarity & lightness in your mind, body, spirit, & life.
Hypnotherapy to get to the subconscious root of your co-dependent patterns in relationship. Examine & shift your current, unhealthy relationship dynamics in the light of your past, (often) early childhood experiences towards your emotional lightness & alignment.
Whether your habit is behavioral — like an addiction to a substance, food, purging, etc. — or physical — like chronic muscle tension, headaches, or other unexplainable physical condition — there is a subconscious root that hypnotherapy can uncover & shift towards your optimal physical capacity.
Through therapy, my integrative treatment philosophy heals you holistically — fosters awareness & ease in your mind, body, & spirit.
Together, we will always view your treatment concern & process through a holistic lens — that you have relationships with & between your mind, body, & spirit to steadily nurture through life — in order for you to experience well-being & fulfillment.
Relationship Therapy
For Your Relationship:
COUPLE
PARENT-CHILD
FAMILY
For Navigating:
(separate relationship therapy pages are being developed…)
We each have unique & dynamic emotional & physical needs. From spending quality time, to touches, to hugs & kisses — & more (for couples)… From opening up about your highs & lows, to walking with one another through them together… Intimacy can always grow & deepen. Together, through therapy, I will have your relationship work through discomfort & get vulnerable with one another, until your emotional needs are understood & met, & your physical intimacy is fulfilling.
Your relationship may be going through individual / shared stresses / transitions in life. As a couple, you may be navigating co-habitation, marriage, &/or having kids. As a family, you may have developmental life changes to adjust to. And when we are changing & strained, our effective communication & collaboration patterns can falter. Relationship therapy can steady you individually & together through life’s bumps.
A rough rupture happened… You’ve grown distant. You’re constantly misunderstanding each other. There was a betrayal of trust. Regardless of the degree of rupture, there needs to come repair. Trust, understanding, & closeness is repaired over consistency with time. Relationship therapy can facilitate the repairing & evolving of your loving, intimate, & fulfilling relationship dynamic.

Through therapy, I aim for our conversations to inspire:
MY CORE VALUES IN HEALING & LIFE:
-
To me, healing is the steady & evolving SELF-LOVE we embed into:
our mental patterns,
our self-care & physical health practices,
& our relationships with others & the world.
Together, we’ll explore where & how you can soften & deepen in LOVE for your mind, body, & spirit in your daily life.
-
To me, healing is recognizing our EVOLUTION. We literally move through life each day gradually gathering:
experience,
knowledge,
skills,
& character.
Together, we’ll share in regular reflection on, goal-directed dialogue about, & recognition of your CHANGES thru therapy & life.
-
It is healing to CREATE. And, to me, to create is: to express ourselves & to expand into possibility.
We each need to share who we genuinely are & feel truly seen — thru our words, deeds, & creations.
And we each also need to DREAM with hopeful action.
Together, we will IMAGINE your desired future & version of self, & take steps towards bringing that vision to life in present-day reality.
“Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.”
– Gary Zukav, Spiritual Author

Your FAQ, Answered

-
Not everyone is spiritual — with a practice or belief system.
However, I believe, everyone has a creative life force spirit — everyone is made up of energy flowing through our bodies. This energy flows across energetic centers & pathways called chakras & meridians, according to Eastern spiritual & healing traditions. Some energy is emotional. And sometimes energy gets stagnant, becoming physical concerns.
This is the Spirit we can address in your holistic treatment — your energetic body — thru interventions like hypnotherapy, tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), guided imagery/meditation, & breathwork. Of course, only if you decide to do so.
-
Everyone needs & deserves healing practices to get through life. That is why it is important to me to contribute to the accessibility of mental health care in California by offering an anti-oppressive sliding scale for persons of varying financial capacity & by accepting health insurance coverage.
I offer a limited number of free & low-cost therapy slots. If I cannot accommodate your financial need at the time we get in contact, I am happy to point you in a direction to meet your financial needs.
At this time (8/28/26), I only accept health insurance for individual & relationship mental health therapy.

Scheduled therapy sessions are specifically reserved for you. I ask that you provide a 24-hour notice by phone or email should you be late or need to cancel for any reason.
There is no fee penalty for a missed session. Consistently late or cancelled appointment visits will prompt my exploration to identify contributing factors & possible adjustments that can be made before termination is considered. Two consecutive, or three total, missed sessions without notice will result in a loss of future appointments. I can understand & make allowances for extenuating circumstances communicated with me.
-
Ideally, therapy ends when you & I agree that your treatment goals have been achieved.
The length of your treatment & plan for your termination depend on the specifics of your therapy goals & personal desires, & will be jointly discussed & determined.
You have the right to terminate treatment at any time, even during a session, for any reason. Following termination, you will be given referrals to other therapists/hypnotherapists if so desired.
You are always welcome to return to treatment with me should another need present in the future.
