Sometimes unresolved problems lead to fear, anxiety, and depression and we find it difficult to cope. My approach to the therapeutic relationship embraces H.O.P.E. - Healing, Optimism, Potential, and Empowerment. I have over 30 years of experience in the field of mental health and I will motivate you to increase your quality of life through evidenced based practices including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, REBT, Mindfulness.

Do you struggle with feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Do you struggle with finding personal and work-life balance? Do you find it hard to cope with current life stressors and situations? Do you struggle with the pain of your past life experiences presenting itself in your day to day? Can you imagine a place where you are free to be yourself, a place where you can share your thoughts and feelings and be open without the fear of judgment? Being seen, heard and understood is important and necessary to taking the steps on the journey to a healthier you. Hello, I am Felicia and as a therapist, I endeavor to create a space to allow self-awareness, true healing and personal growth to happen. We all have different life experiences and sometimes figuring out how to deal and cope with those experiences is challenging and requires a little help. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, chronic stress, trauma, struggling with relationships or a life transition, change is possible. Through our work together I want to help you meet your goals as you take this journey to feel better. I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome hurdles in your life. I view therapy as a safe space for processing life experiences, emotions, thoughts, and trauma to achieve one’s goals and necessary growth. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with you to understand your thought processes, address barriers to wellness, and identify ways in which you can achieve your goals. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives; however, sometimes need an outside perspective to help re-frame our thinking. Asking for help isn't easy and you are not alone! We all need support at times and I would be honored to be that support for you! Thanks again for taking the first step on this journey to a healthier you.

Your well being is important to me. I am passionate about this work because I am passionte about the healing we all deserve. Uncomfortable emotions sound the alarm to what distresses us and harkens us back to all the feeling memories related to the emotional hurt we feel right now. In therapy, we can get to know your attachment style and the way experience emotional disconnection when it occurs in your relationships today. Emotional connection is so important to our experience of safety in the world, and I want to help you to validate the defenses you learned and earned to help you survive and cope. I work with couples and individuals experiencing emotional distress. I aim to validate your needs to communicate your distress, to make sure that distress matters and is understood. From there we can work on cultivating the compassion and care you have for you and others and help you find the peace and happiness you deserve to survive and thrive. I follow a stepwise process. I objectively notice and intervene where it matters most. Together we collaborate to acknowledge, aim and validate the reasons for protest or withdrawal when that occurs. Therapy is a soothing process and instills a growth mindset. When we slow down to experience your authentic core feelings in session, I work to give you the safety you deserve to make sure a secure attachment connection can happen. I care for individuals, couples and families. I help my clients to develop their own personal map of self-protective relationship reactions that challenge or derail risk taking for authentic connection and self-actualization. As your therapist, I want to be a helper and guide you to know and share your authentic self in the ways you desire. We all need and want nurture, care and protection and when we take care of important feeling moments, life almost magically organically takes care of us.

Personally I practice meditation and Buddhism doctrines. I help clients overcome limiting beliefs, resolve obstacles that derail their collaboration, and elevate mutual strengths, joy, and potential for deep connection.

If we didn't make mistakes, how would we grow? What you want to get out of therapy is what you will get. You are the expert in your life. I am here to help others meet their goals. My job is to promote understanding on how to use life tools in order to meet the goals you strive for. I look forward to hearing your story. Let's rock life one step at a time, together.

Hi, I'm Matt Zupko, a professional counselor with almost two decades of experience, specializing in anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Therapy can be daunting, especially if it's new to you. But you've taken the first step, and that's something to be proud of! If you're returning to therapy, great! It's the first step to feeling better. People seek therapy for various reasons. They may be struggling with a lifelong issue or something new. Some look for an unbiased listener to talk through their troubles. They might feel stuck in their situation in life, but they all share one thing: they're ready for a change.
