Experience

In my past work as a clinical psychologist, I found that integrating mindfulness practices with conventional talk therapy techniques brought deeper transformation and emotional healing for many of my clients — especially those navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, or ongoing stress. Because my clients were experiencing such positive results, I became certified in a variety of modalities including meditation, breathwork, dream analysis, guided imagery, hypnosis, visualization, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Over time, these tools helped me create a more holistic approach to emotional support, and they became an essential part of my practice.

Training & Education

Academically, I hold a Master of Arts degree in Sociology from DePaul University, as well as a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from California State University. But it’s my real-world experience that I value most — including over 15 years as an organizational psychology consultant for companies like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley, helping leaders and teams stay productive in high-change environments. I’ve also lived and worked in countries like Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia, experiences that deepened my personal understanding of healing beyond current Western models and taught me the importance of balance, presence, listening, and trust.

Philosophy

Throughout my career, I’ve supported people through all kinds of challenges — as a clinical psychologist, social worker, consultant, and now as an Emotional Support Coach. I’ve led hundreds of individual sessions, groups, workshops, classes, and retreats designed to help people feel more present, more empowered, and more connected to their authentic self. But no matter the setting, the goal for me has always been the same — to create space where people feel safe, seen, included, and supported so they can heal and thrive.

How I Can Support You

What keeps me grounded in this work is simple — I love listening, holding space, and helping people feel truly supported. I truly believe that you don’t need a diagnosis to deserve care. If you're feeling overwhelmed, grieving, stuck, or just need someone to talk to — I’m here. And I’d be honored to support you along your journey. My goal is to listen without judgment, offer tools when you want them, and create a space where you can just be yourself, whatever that looks like for you.

Welcome, I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

Warmly,

Jenn
