Not your average midlife. Not your average therapy.

We’ll sort through the stories you’ve outgrown, listen to what your body’s been trying to tell you and rediscover the magic that’s been quietly waiting underneath it all.

therapy that gets it:

You’ve done the hard work.

Books read. Courses taken. Mantras memorized. Quick fixes? Been there, seen through them.

You’ve learned a lot about life. Now it’s time to learn more about you.

You’re ready for a therapist who can keep up with your insight, savvy and wisdom; who meets you at your depth and opens the door to what’s possible beyond the familiar.

Hello! Jen here~

Travel enthusiast, wandering both the world and the inner landscapes of the soul. Gardener-in-training, learning to tend to roots as well as blooms.

I’ve always been drawn to the metaphors that shape how we make sense of being human. Maybe that’s why I love to travel—both across landscapes and within the inner terrain of the self. Each journey, whether through winding streets or the wilderness of the soul, reveals something unexpected, something alive.

For years, I lived at full speed: mothering, partnering, helping, healing, advocating. I poured from a deep well, believing that if I just kept moving, I could outrun exhaustion. But eventually, my body called my bluff. Fatigue, pain, illness—all the quiet whispers I’d ignored became impossible to tune out. My immune system burned out, and life as I knew it unraveled.

So I stopped. Or rather, I was stopped.

In the stillness, I learned to listen—to my body’s wisdom, to the rhythms of rest and renewal, to the truth that healing doesn’t happen through force, but through surrender. What began as a collapse became a kind of homecoming.

Now, I work with women who are ready to stop pushing and start listening. Together, we make meaning of the mess. We find beauty in the ache. We trace the metaphors that live in the body and learn what they’re asking for.

Therapy with me is…

…rooted in authenticity and compassion, where humor sits beside heartache, where your sensitivity isn’t a weakness, it’s your GPS for what matters.

I’m guided by progressive values and a collaborative spirit, drawn to the alchemy between mind, body and collective healing: part science, part soul. I believe in creating spaces of connection and equity, where every voice matters and every story belongs.

You can expect our therapy to be…

01 Integrative

I weave in various therapy methods, including evidence-based, humanistic and creative modalities, to meet you where you are—mind, body, and spirit. Think of it like a tailor-made map: together, we choose the paths and practices that make sense for your unique journey.

02 relational

Your connections—with yourself, others and the world —shape your experience of life. Therapy helps you notice the patterns, deepen your awareness and cultivate relationships that feel real, nourishing and true to you. Especially, your relationship with yourself.

03 personalized

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll create a path that honors your story, your rhythms and the wisdom you carry within. Each session is tailored to your life, your challenges and your growth—so you can navigate your journey with clarity, confidence and a sense of your own magic.

04 collaborative

My approach is centered in a power-with mindset, intentionally aware of and countering dynamics of “power-over/power-under.” Together, we cultivate a space of respect, partnership and empowerment, where your voice is heard, your experiences are honored and your growth can take root and flourish.
