Specializing in supporting women through midlife transitions
Hi, I’m Jen!
Let’s find your magic in the middle.
I’m a Costa Mesa-based Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) passionate about supporting women through life transitions—and the often uncomfortable space between what was and what’s becoming. This middle space, while challenging, is also where the magic of growth and new possibilities begins to unfold.
Whether you’re redefining roles, reconnecting with your identity, navigating perimenopause or menopause, or facing another major life shift or stressor, I help women release stories that no longer serve them so they can reconnect with their inner wisdom that will light the way forward.
Rooted in the empowering principles of narrative therapy, my style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we’ll explore what truly matters and shape a life that reflects your values and vision.
Ready to invest in yourself and move forward with more clarity and confidence? Let’s connect!
Get ready to align and shine!

A Message From Jen…
Curious about what it’s like to work with me? In this short video, I share a little bit about who I am, how I approach therapy, and what you can expect in our time together. Whether you’re navigating a big life transition, working through relationship challenges, or simply wanting support—this is a place to start.
As a midlife woman myself - I see you.
Midlife women are powerful.
They are strong and can do hard things. They’ve carried others, literally and figuratively. They hold a wisdom that only comes with lived experience—and they’ve earned every bit of it.
Around midlife, many women begin to crave something different—something more authentic, more aligned with who they are now. They’re done tolerating what doesn’t serve them.
The tolerance for BS? Low. The desire for something more? High!
As if perimenopause weren’t enough on its own—then come the many transitions of midlife: shifting roles, empty nests, caring for aging parents, evolving (or dissolving) relationships, and more.
It’s a turbulent season that can be disorienting, emotional, and can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. It’s a lot. But you DON’T have to do it alone. It’s your turn now to get support after so many years of taking care of everyone else.
If this resonates—you’re in the right place.
The Midlife Women I Work With Most Often Feel…
Overwhelmed, anxious, or fearful over shifting roles, changing hormones, and the uncertainty of what’s next—especially as they approach or enter the empty nest phase.
Disconnected from their partner in a relationship that feels stale or strained—and unsure how to reconnect, or if they even want to.
A sense of identity loss after years of caregiving and putting others first.
Disconnected from their own voice, desires, and purpose as their roles shift.
Stressed with caring for aging or ill parents—just when they had hoped to reclaim a bit of freedom.
Guilty at the thought of prioritizing themselves, or like they need permission to slow down and ask: Who am I now? Who am I becoming?
Tired of perimenopause symptoms being dismissed by doctors, misunderstood by loved ones, and expected to quietly push through.
If any of this resonates, you’re you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.
As a mom of two and an almost empty-nester, I know firsthand how disorienting and transformative midlife can be. With a master’s in clinical psychology and advanced training in narrative therapy, I’m here to help women flip the script on what this season is supposed to look like. This next chapter is yours to create. Let me walk alongside you as you begin to draft it.
Most people have never heard of narrative therapy, which is exactly why I’m writing this post. As a therapist trained in narrative therapy, I’ve seen firsthand the powerful impact this therapeutic approach can have—not just in the therapy room, but in the lives of the people I work with.
