Jenny Ming Tu is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who combines her own journey of transformation with extensive clinical training to support individuals and couples facing trauma and relationship challenges.

Jenny specializes in couples therapy, relational distress, and childhood trauma recovery. She helps clients develop insight into the emotional patterns that shape their relationships and sense of self, fostering awareness that leads to choice and change. Her work often involves supporting couples caught in conflict, individuals healing from trauma, and clients navigating the pressure and perfectionism common in medical or postdoctoral settings. She brings cultural attunement to her work with Asian-American couples, helping them build understanding and emotional closeness across generational and cultural differences.

Jenny integrates EMDR, IFS, EFT, Brainspotting, and mindfulness to help clients work directly with both trauma and the protective patterns that form around it. Grounded in nearly two decades of meditation practice, she guides clients in recognizing how pain arises and how the mind reacts to it- inviting compassion, curiosity, and the possibility of transforming shame into understanding.

With a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and full training in EMDR, EFT, IFS, and Brainspotting, Jenny brings exceptional clinical preparation to her practice. Her commitment to clinical excellence extends beyond her formal education through ongoing consultations with top thought-leaders and practitioners in couples' work and trauma treatment. This dedication to continuous learning reflects her passion for discovering new tools, questions, and techniques that lead to breakthrough moments for her clients.

Outside the therapy room, Jenny lives as an artist-ceramicist in rural northern California, where she finds both grounding and inspiration at the pottery wheel. She swims in her backyard pond and hikes through nearby woods, carrying the same sense of connection and mindful presence into her work with clients. For Jenny, creativity, solitude, and immersion in nature are essential to emotional balance and living authentically.
