About Me

Hi, I'm Jenna! I am a wife, mother, psychotherapist, and parent coach. I love to rescue animals, cook for my kids, and practice daily meditation and mindfulness. I am a native Angelino, an adventure seeker, and a nature enthusiast. 

 

I am wildly passionate about helping people understand their emotions and behaviors, and find creative solutions to their struggles. I trained at the prestigious Maple Counseling Center in Beverly Hills, CA, treating children, adolescents, adults, and families. I provided intimate assistance to caregivers, facilitating parent support groups focusing on reflective parenting. I continued my love for working with teens as a school-based therapist at Beverly Hills High School and Moreno High School.

​

I have expertise in supporting adults, couples, and families who have faced severe trauma. I hold a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Certification, am a Gottman-trained couples counselor, and an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. I studied extensively at The Institute for Creative Mindfulness in order to incorporate mindfulness and meditation techniques into my work. Combining my studies and personal experience, I have crafted simple mindfulness-based coping tools to help individuals find calm in their lives.

​

I also earned a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. I specialize in maternal mental health, including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), birth trauma, infertility, postpartum adjustment, and the emotional transition to becoming a parent. I have advanced clinical proficiency in identifying and treating PMADs, and provide evidence-based, compassionate care for individuals and couples navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
