Hello there! My name is Jennifer, but please call me Ajen. My approach to therapy is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and connectedness, and clients typically find my style calming, attentive, and focused. 

My practice is founded on specialized training in evidence-based psychotherapy models for individuals (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)) and couples (Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)). Because I am committed to providing effective interventions supported by years of research, I actively maintain advanced status designations from the AEDP Institute, the International Center for Excellence in EFT, and the Northern California Community for EFT.

With experience in the mental health field, I have built and maintained community partnerships while helping staff model ways to develop meaningful interpersonal relationships with their clients. I bring such skills and insights—rooted in mindfulness and compassion—to support individuals and couples dealing with relationship distress, life transitions, and the impacts of childhood and intergenerational trauma. To meet the unique needs of my clients, I also integrate a range of therapeutic techniques, including ACT, DBT, and mindfulness skills.

Offering individual and couples therapy services via telehealth, I make therapy accessible to busy professionals in California, allowing you to engage in sessions from the comfort of your chosen location. If you and your partner seek to build healthier emotional patterns and navigate your journey towards emotional wellness, I am here to help. We can work through your challenges together and foster more robust, fulfilling relationships.
