Hi, I'm Jen.

Most of my clients come to me after years of trying to understand their internal world. You might be navigating intense moods, trauma patterns, or a "shaky" sense of who you are. You’ve likely tried therapy or medication before, but feel like the root cause has never quite been reached.
I’m a clinical psychologist because I believe that clarity is the first step toward healing. I specialize in helping adults untangle complex symptoms so they can finally move forward with a clear roadmap for their lives.

How We Work Together

Whether we are doing a deep-dive assessment or long-term therapy, my goal is to provide a space that is:

Collaborative: You are the expert on your life; I am the expert on the psychological tools. We work together to find the answers.
Transparent: I don't keep my clinical observations in a "black box." I explain my reasoning and findings clearly so you can use them to advocate for yourself.
Actionable: You won't just leave with test scores or labels. You’ll receive a concrete plan—a "user manual" for your mental health—that tells you exactly what to target next.

My Approach

I provide thorough, evidence-based diagnostic assessment using validated measures.

My assessments are:

Comprehensive - I use multiple measures to build a complete picture
Collaborative - You'll understand what we're testing and why
Transparent - I explain my reasoning and findings clearly
Actionable - You get specific recommendations you can actually use

You're not just getting test scores. You're getting a clinical formulation that explains how everything fits together and what makes sense to target in treatment.

Specialized Expertise

My clinical foundation was built in some of the most rigorous training environments in the country, including Stanford University School of Medicine and the VA Healthcare System.

This background allows me to handle "complex presentations" with confidence. I have extensive experience in:

Personality Functioning: Helping people understand their identity (Identity & Self-Direction)and improve how they relate to others (Empathy & Intimacy).
Evidence-Based Therapy: I am trained in the "gold standard" treatments that actually work for chronic concerns, including Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), DBT, Exposure-Based CBT, and Prolonged Exposure (PE).
Precision Assessment: Using advanced diagnostic tools to distinguish between overlapping symptoms like ADHD, Autism, trauma, and mood/anxiety disorders.
