Jennifer founded Positive Change Counseling Center in 2006, just 4 years after graduating with her Masters degree in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. She began seeing clients part-time while working at other mental health programs and quickly developed a passion for private practice, where she could offer individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Her diverse experience, including working with at-risk youth, veterans, adults in crisis, and in a mental health insurance setting, shaped her approach as both a therapist and business owner.

While working directly with clients, Jennifer focused on treating couples, new & expectant parents, military families, and anxiety disorders. From 2009 to 2012, Jennifer worked on a telehealth research study for veterans, which later proved invaluable when the COVID-19 pandemic forced a sudden shift from in-person to 100% telehealth services.

Today, Positive Change Counseling Center has expanded to four locations across San Diego and Ventura counties, offering both in-person and telehealth therapy. Jennifer is deeply grateful to work with a talented team of clinicians and support staff and now focuses on hiring highly qualified, compassionate professionals to continue providing exceptional care to the community.
