Meet Jennifer

I have experience in treating mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting, crises, emotional and behavioral problems, and everyday life stressors. I have been practicing and working in the mental health field for just over 10 years. I am currently a doctoral candidate for the social work program at USC. Everyone goes through ups and downs in life and I believe the most darkest and difficult times can be lifted up. "Everything you go through will grow you." -Robert Tew
