Now offering Emergency Intensive Couples Counseling! This is a 4 week program, 2 hour sessions per week with immediate availability!
Jennifer is a worldly person who grew up with a father in the United States Air Force traveling to many places throughout her childhood and adolescence. She grew up in a blended family surrounded by many different cultures, beliefs, races, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, etc. Jennifer is a Jewish-Muslim convert, a lifelong yoga student, and speaks fluent Spanish. It is her goal to learn as much as she can about as many cultures and faiths as possible, and she represents a level of diversity and global compassion that is not likely to be surpassed or found elsewhere. In a lot of ways, Jennifer is like a bridge who connects cultures, races, religions, etc., that would not normally get a chance to learn about each other.
Combining both an Eastern and Western approach to mental health and wellness, Jennifer brings a unique and highly effective approach to treating the mind, body, and spirit with individuals who are wanting to learn lasting ways to improve their mental health and grow as a person. She also has a great deal of knowledge about a number of institutions and systems that are at play in Southern California. Due to her personal experiences and studies, Jennifer has a unique skill set to work with religious communities of all kinds as well as any other spiritual-based groups that struggle to find a "safe" resource in mainstream society that does not judge or contradict religious practices.
