Jeanne brings deep wisdom, exquisite care, and years of experience to her work as a psychologist. I recommend her, and her work, wholeheartedly.

Jeanne is curious, compassionate and incredibly competent – a constellation of what makes a great therapist. Having trained with her, I was impressed from day one with her command of the research – and also really appreciated her desire to learn more and more and more. She draws from a wealth of experience and different forms of therapy to provide individualized care, giving all of us therapists an example to live up to.

Jeanne is a wonderful clinician who is highly knowledgeable about evidence-based interventions. She also deeply cares about her clients and provides them with the respect, unconditional acceptance, and thoughtfulness they deserve.

Jeanne is among the most thoughtful therapists I’ve ever known. She is exceptionally well trained in evidence-based treatments and is gifted in her ability to tailor these treatments to her clients. What impresses me most about Jeanne is all of the work she puts in behind the scenes – coordinating with other providers, consulting with colleagues, reflecting on cases in the shower. It’s no wonder she’s one of the most sought after therapists in the Bay area.
