Do you ever feel overwhelmed or stuck in the same relationship patterns? Life can bring emotional and mental challenges that leave us feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, deepen your understanding of yourself, and find healthier ways to move through difficult moments.

I am so glad you are here today. As a therapist in the field for five years my role is not to judge or fix you, but to walk alongside you as you uncover your strengths, understand your patterns of behavior, and move towards healing. I want to create a space where you will feel seen and heard.

I’m a licensed therapist with a background in social work, and I’ve worked in both clinical and community settings supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and moments where things just feel “off.” Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship challenges, burnout, or a deeper sense of feeling stuck, I’m here to help you make sense of it and move forward.

My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and tailored to you. I’m not the kind of therapist who just nods along—I’ll actively engage with you, offer insight, and help you connect patterns so you can create real, lasting change. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being fully yourself, while also gently challenging what’s no longer working.

I also specialize in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through a partnership with Journey Clinical, working alongside medical providers who prescribe and monitor treatment. This can be a powerful option for those who feel stuck in traditional approaches or are looking for a deeper level of healing and perspective.

I work with adults from all walks of life who are ready to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and feel more grounded and aligned in their day-to-day lives.

My name is Jovelyn, but most people call me Jovi. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a diverse background working with families, children, teens, and adults. I’m passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges and supporting them on their journey toward personal growth, inner peace, and greater life satisfaction.

My approach is direct, caring, and genuine—and I like to bring in a bit of humor when it helps lighten the process. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering. While it can feel intimidating to start, if you’re open and ready to do the work, I’ll be there to guide and encourage you every step of the way.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m a wife, working mom, and Marine Veteran, which gives me a unique perspective on resilience, transitions, and balancing multiple roles. I understand life’s ups and downs from both a personal and professional lens, and I bring that understanding into the therapy room.

I specialize in creating a supportive, empathetic space for healing and growth. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex emotions and find empowerment in their lives.

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients in California. I specialize in helping people struggling with anxiety and depression, trauma, life transitions, and grief. I primarily use experiential therapy modalities (Internal Family Systems, AEDP, Coherence Therapy, etc.) that focus on deeper work to address the root causes of clients' struggles. I help people gain more clarity and confidence and feel more peaceful and balanced inside.

I have been working in the counseling field since 2010. I am excited to be able to offer in-person services at my private practice in Bakersfield, CA, as well as via telehealth.

I believe in helping others look beyond the problem to the possibilities of a peaceful and meaningful life.
