I have been providing therapy to children, teens, adults, couples, and support groups for seven years. My approach is based on client-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapies that focus on self-acceptance and self-discovery by helping you build insight and access your strengths where you can feel empowered and understood. As your therapist, I intend to provide an open, safe, and collaborative space for healing. I am here to provide you with the support you need and create a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. Seeking help is an act of courage and self-care.

Along life’s journey, we can experience feelings of sadness, confusion, fear, self-doubt, anger, shame, loneliness, distrust and uncertainty in ourselves, others and/or society at large. At times, past trauma, grief and fear can be activated, leaving us feeling stuck, or leading us to impulsive and/or unhelpful decisions to change the way we feel-at least in the moment. If you’re encountering emotions, behaviors or patterns that leave you, your relationships, and/or life goals out of alignment with what you hope for, I invite you to partner with me in a compassion-based therapeutic space. My approach is to support you in moving through your challenges with greater ease, finding and discerning your truths, uncovering additional strengths, gaining practical skills, and enlivening a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life. I have been fortunate to work with people from different cultures, religions, philosophical orientations, traditional and non-traditional family forms, youth to elders, and all sides of the socio-economic spectrum. I love people, their stories, and believe that within each human being, gifts are given to be recognized, expressed and increase positive emotion and a felt sense of holistic well-being.

I am a licensed psychologist and board certified art therapist who has helped individuals and families thrive for 30 years.

In my free time I like to spend time with my family.

I have been in the field for twenty five years and have learned to adjust to what the client is presenting in the session to achieve a sense of safety. I work with what the client is presenting and focus on how to guide the client to work through their presenting problem. I have had a history of working with a variety of clients and cultures. I started working in a therapeutic community with at risk adolescents. I later worked with court referred gang members. From there I worked with the homeless and the LGBTQ Community on addictions. I opened a private practice in a more suburban environment.

Dealing with life, the everyday “stuff,” and emotions can be tough. Don’t be so hard on yourself—healing is a process. I see therapy as a joint venture where our knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. In my practice I bring kindness, humor, and authenticity with the purpose of creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to experience freedom. When it comes to treatment, no one size fits all and every therapeutic alliance is unique.

You’ve probably done a lot to keep things going—managing work, relationships, family, and everything else life throws at you. On the outside, it might look like you’re holding it all together. But inside, it feels like something’s not quite right. Maybe you’re anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or just disconnected from yourself. You may not have the words for it yet—but you know something needs to change. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I specialize in working with adults who are high-functioning on the surface but silently struggling underneath. My clients are often caretakers, overthinkers, and perfectionists who carry a lot of shame, self-doubt, or old wounds they’ve never been given the space to process. Many of them don’t realize how much pain they’ve been holding for years—until they finally slow down and begin to feel it. In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s going on—we’ll explore what’s underneath it. I use EMDR, parts work, and trauma-informed care to help you untangle the beliefs, patterns, and protective strategies that are keeping you stuck. Therapy with me is honest, grounding, and deeply compassionate. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll go at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. This is a space where you don’t have to be the strong one. You don’t have to make sense of it all before you show up. You just have to be willing to start. I’d be honored to walk with you through the healing process.

Therapy is a journey, and as your therapist, I step into the role of being your journeyman walking alongside you as we navigate the path together. We’ll take time to explore your life experiences and the challenges that brought you here, working in a way that honors your unique perspective and language. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space free from judgment or bias, where you can feel supported and truly understood. As your journeyman, I’m here to help you develop the skills and utilize the tools you need to manage life’s stressors in healthier, more fulfilling ways. Together, we’ll move toward clarity, growth, and balance.

We were never taught how to be in a relationship. Yes there are tons of books of how to, however to put them to practical use can be very difficult. If you want to be in a relationship that last 50 yrs then communication and empathy has to be at the core of a successful partnership. This can also relate to a relationship with a family member, friends or co-workers. Sometimes our own mental health can influence all of our relationships, and you may need coping techniques for anxiety and or depression type symptoms. I am here to help beit coping strategies for anxiety and depression symptoms or learning how to communicate more effectively with others.

Hey, I'm Olivia! Are you ready to laugh, cry and create a connection with someone who is not going to give you cookie-cutter responses? Then keep reading. I am passionate about creating a safe space for my clients to throw it all out on the table, be met with compassion and validation and begin to piece together what they want to keep and what they want to toss. Many times in our lives, we put on certain identities and expectations that may not be ours but we keep them on out of comfort, fear, habit, you name it. I am here to help you sift through the pieces of you that you know but also become curious about the parts of yourself that you do not know. During that process, you can begin to find power in your choices and practice the art of being able to decide for yourself who it is you want to be. The stories you have come to believe about yourself are worth exploring and together, we can build a relationship where I will challenge those beliefs with you and assist you in building confidence to shift into your most authentic and understood self.

Hi I am Kao, I firmly believe that as humans we have an innate desire for growth and balance. Unfortunately, often we physically respond to ingrained negative cues and messages that get stuck in our body. Many times these old cues manifest themselves in our body as anxiety, depression, and other trauma responses. It can feel like we are living life just trying to cope with the loudness of these negative messages. What if instead of just gaining tools to “cope” with these trauma responses, we could eliminate them all together? How might your life look? My hope is that in our work together we will be able to address wounds and move towards healing so that you don’t have to “cope” anymore. Instead you can thrive and have a sense of self-awareness that brings constant peace and clarity.

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm excited about the potential of working with you in developing a sense of integration and resilience in your life. Are you feeling stuck? Dissatisfied in your relationships and/or work? Disconnected from a sense of deeper purpose? Feel that there is the potential for greater richness and joy in life, but it is just out of reach? Rooted in a compassionate curiosity, our work would explore these themes through inquiry into the dynamic between your conscious, unconscious, somatic, and relational self. Using a holistic lens we can unpack the how's and why's of your patterns; gaining insight into your emotions and experiences, and work towards greater self-awareness and well-being. From a somatic, psychodynamic approach we will focus on the connection between the body and the mind, and how emotions and past experiences can be stored in the body and affect an your mental and physical well-being. Through the use of techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based exercises, you will become more aware of your physical sensations and how they are connected to your thoughts and emotions. This may also include exploring early childhood experiences, family dynamics, and past traumas, as well as working through issues related to relationships, self-esteem, and personal growth.

Life is challenging and can be full of suffering but finding liberation from suffering is always available to us. I'm here to support you through your journey.

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy because not one size treatment model fits all. I strive to create a safe, nourishing, and comfortable space where you can feel seen. I validate, understand, and challenge my clients to build awareness and learn tools to transform their lives.
