Jennifer also specializes in South Asian (Desi) mental health and is deeply attuned to the cultural dynamics that shape identity, body image, trauma, and emotional wellbeing. She is committed to providing culturally responsive and inclusive care, particularly for clients navigating intergenerational expectations, stigma, cultural conflict, or the desire to be understood within their cultural context.

Grounded in a trauma-informed and relational lens, Jennifer places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of meaningful change. She supports clients in aligning with their own value system, strengthening self-esteem, and developing internal clarity to guide decision-making and emotional resilience. Her work frequently incorporates values-based frameworks, mindfulness-informed practices, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s needs.

Jennifer is passionate about working with trauma and mood disorders, helping clients understand the roots of their emotional patterns, heal from past experiences, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with themselves. She aims to create a collaborative, warm, and affirming space where clients can explore their identity, build insight, and move toward a life that feels aligned, empowered, and authentic.

Outside the therapy room, Jennifer values connection, creativity, and community. She is passionate about helping individuals reclaim their voice, reconnect with their bodies, and move toward growth with compassion and courage.
