Opening to What Is
Life just keeps unfolding, like a river with it’s own current, we are navigating a momentum that seems to have its own intelligence. Sometimes it goes the way we want it to and sometimes it really doesn’t.
When we practice the art and warriorship of meeting what life brings us with openness, presence and a willingness to learn from what it is here to teach, infinite gifts become available to us, and we are shaped and guided by those gifts.
Eventually life’s hardships can be seen as the path back to your truest self, rather than the obstacle, and relating with life becomes intimate and reciprocal.
If this speaks to, you’re warmly invited to reach out.

How we’ll work together
I weave Eastern wisdom traditions with Western depth psychology, somatic and energy medicine and draw on years of learning within indigenous healing ways to help you meet what your life is inviting you to grow into. I guide you with the practices that I have embodied and live by, so that your life can be supported by them too.
Therapy becomes a place to:
- Establish more awareness in your body in a way that is deeply grounding
- Lovingly challenge the patterns that hold you back and free yourself
- Meet difficult emotions with presence rather than struggle
- Reconnect with your intuition, purpose and natural gifts
- Resource yourself with the pleasure that presence, breath and openness of being provides
What brings people here
Every path is unique. My work often focuses on:
Moving into Thriving
When you’ve already addressed core wounds and want to step into who you are without old identities
Becoming Inwardly Anchored
When you need instructions, accountability and support to cultivate practices that keep you centered
Grief, Loss and Transitions
How to open to life’s situations no matter how hard, and find the medicine within it
Relationships & intimacy
When closeness feels hard to feel or sustain, pleasure is limited and something feels in the way
Purpose & alignment
The desire to live in cohesion with your innate gifts, affinities and also feel materially supported within that
Spiritual growth & integration
The wish to live in deeper relatedness with life. Meeting existential questions and feelings

Meet Jen
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #104161) in Berkeley. I came to this work through art and the natural world, and my practice is shaped by years of training in somatic therapy, depth psychology, meditation and Earth-honoring traditions.
I see each person as an integrated, intelligent whole. My role is to help you remember that wholeness, and to live from it.
Begin with a conversation
If something in you feels ready, I offer a free 30-minute consultation to talk about what’s asking for your attention
