Hi, I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist for the past 13 years. I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies in expressive arts therapy. I also have lived in a Zen Buddhist temple to do residential practice for five years. My goal is to help people feel better as soon as possible. Usually by the time a person enters therapy they have been under stress that has been building for a while. I help people identify and clarify what their goals are and present interventions that I have supported people using that help them feel better.

"Life is a journey, travel it well." I believe we're all on our own individual journeys of life that sometimes put us in valleys and sometimes on top of hills. When it comes to the valleys, sometimes it's alright to reach out to someone for a little guidance and help. Hi, my name is Ryan and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. One of my favorite parts of my own journey has been navigating the complexities of young adult life stages from college, to work, romance and beyond. But whether or not it's life transitions or just a need for someone to journey along side you during a difficult time, I am here to help.

Hi, I'm Amani! Living in the moment means letting go of the past & not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift." -Oprah W. I am a witness to the family stories of trauma, racism, environmental & social injustices that negatively impact family structures. This experience influenced my desire to become a clinician to support the healing process of individuals subject to historical life events & current circumstances which circumvent individuals from accessing their full potentials & their capacity to influence their lives with efficacy. With longevity in clinical practice, I work with individuals facing life transitions, grief & loss, depression, anxiety, trauma & other issues that stymie hope and joy, desires & dreams; & life goals. Adjusting & adapting to life’s moments & experiences can be both fulfilling & challenging. As a collaborative partner, I will assist in exploring and facing the trials that hinder moving to the next chapter of one’s life. By employing evidenced-based practices and interventions that are tailored to meet individual needs, we write that next chapter.

Are you tired of the non-stop chatter in your head judging every move you make? Is the constant loop of negative thinking making you feel like you are not good enough? No matter how many times you try to talk yourself out of this—you just can't seem to shake it. You are doing all the things you’ve been told to do and yet something is missing. You feel alone. You feel misunderstood. You feel anxious. You turn to food, alcohol, Netflix, or whatever else that can make these feelings go away. You promise yourself that next week will be different. You will start the new diet or the new program, you will commit to being a new you. What if there is another way? I work with women to get this cycle can end. There can be freedom from the despair caused by believing that you are not good enough. You want a deeper connection in your relationships. You want more joy in your life. You want less stress and worry. I can help you get there. There is a different path.

Child or Adolescent
Trauma and PTSD
With nine years of psychotherapy experience, I’m passionate about helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, and build more confident, fulfilling futures. My career has included work in day centers for adults with severe mental illness, crisis shelters for youth, and community mental health services. For the past year and a half, I’ve been privileged to offer focused, personalized care in private practice. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and actively working toward certification. EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based method that helps people process and release the emotional charge of distressing memories, allowing them to feel more at peace in the present. I use EMDR to support clients in reducing emotional overwhelm, strengthening resilience, and creating lasting change. For clients not yet ready for trauma reprocessing, I incorporate resourcing and stabilization techniques to build coping skills and emotional regulation. While EMDR is a central part of my work, I also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and other evidence-based methods to ensure each session is tailored to your needs. My approach is flexible and collaborative—we adapt our work based on what feels most supportive for you in the moment. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and low self-worth. My experience includes eight years in community mental health and over two years working in a youth shelter, guiding teens through family conflict, instability, and major life transitions. At the heart of my practice is a safe, non-judgmental environment where your voice matters. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working together toward meaningful, sustainable progress—whether that means processing the past, feeling more grounded in the present, or moving forward with confidence.
