My work as a therapist revolves around creating a relationship that is safe enough to encourage honest reflection and focused enough to encourage challenge and change. Research continues to show that the most important factor in successful therapy is a good connection between the therapist and client. My passion is to establish a strong, safe alliance with you and to be your companion in finding and activating your innate wisdom and resilience. I will encourage an honest exploration of your thoughts, feelings, and passions.

My passion is to assist children and adolescents to gain skills in order to manage difficult emotions and create healthy relationships in a safe and non-judgmental environment, so they can better manage and understand life’s difficulties and complexities.

Neuroscience is showing us what we have known instinctually forever; that it is through nurturing relationships that healing and human growth occurs. If we have been wounded in relationship or have unresolved trauma from the past, our fear and reactivity can prevent us from seeking and maintaining nurturing and safe connections with self and others. As a therapist, I consider it an honor to provide a compassionate, safe, engaging and supportive environment to heal and grow.

Hi I’m Chaela, owner of Connecting Couples Therapy. I work with couples and individuals in various degrees of relationship distress and I help them develop a more secure attachment style. I love helping clients find real ways of connecting more deeply and authentically in order to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. During times of stress, unmet needs can bring out the worst in a person. I help couples to recognize the root of relational insecurity and to develop security both internally and interpersonally. I also work with couples on the brink of or in the process of divorce to create secure coparenting practices.

Please Note: No Current Insurance Slots Available... Are you an 18-35 year old, striving to find yourself and your place in the world? Do you sometimes feel unmotivated and directionless, unclear on your purpose? Do you ever feel like the traumas of your childhood keep you from living your fullest life? Are you especially hard on yourself, and find it difficult to "self-care?" Or perhaps you have a child or teenager who is acting out, depressed, feeling misunderstood or difficult to understand?

I have had years of experience dealing with trauma, including complex Post Traumatic Stress. I am comfortable with both men and women, dealing with issues ranging from life transition, divorce, narcissistic parents and spouses, addiction and codependency. We will discuss self-limiting beliefs and behaviors affecting your mind, body, and soul.

I believe that being understood by someone who is compassionate and knowledgeable is essential to becoming the best person we can be. We can be our own worst critics and sometimes it helps to have someone experienced alongside us in our journey. I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in working with teens and adults who have a wide range of issues.

When you’re feeling stuck, you want to move. You should and you need to. Does it feel impossible trying to break free from the echoes of painful past experiences? Is this unhelpful cycle leaving you with feelings of shame, guilt, overwhelm, isolation, regret, and fear? Do you feel unsafe and unable to connect with others, your body and/or your environment? Sometimes it can seem as though the problem is so big that it has to spill over into other areas of our lives, i.e. relationships, work, school, home or elsewhere. Trauma shows up as a reaction, and allowing yourself to move forward while processing the past is a delicate balance.

Trauma can cause a person to get stuck in the past. With therapy, healing can begin to allow you to live fully in the present, with less triggers and fear. I work with adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, or who are suffering from depression and anxiety.

For me, it is vital that you feel heard and supported all times, without judgment. Together, we will strategize how to best cope with daily stressors effectively and easily. I can help you leave the past behind through self-forgiveness and by creating a much more positive present, and thus, future. Often, we talk to ourselves in very negative ways and this determines our reactions and limitations, as well as our worldview. I will help you radically improve your self-esteem and take on each day's challenges feeling strong and at peace with yourself. I also specialize in trauma. My way of treating it is effective and painless.

Having trouble with a complicated relationship? A tough decision? Or just, life? Many things can get in the way of living well - relationship conflict, confusion about direction or purpose, grief, a bad work environment, parenting challenges, divorce, chronic illness and more. Why we feel and act the way we do can be confusing and often depressing. Sometimes we need help identifying the things that are holding us back and finding the strengths that will move us forward. You and I will work together to remove those roadblocks and create a life that's aligned with YOUR dreams, YOUR choices, and YOUR goals.

We all experience life through different lenses, and these lenses impact how we navigate the world. My passion is to help children, adolescents and families learn how to manage their emotions and feelings while learning how to communicate effectively and develop healthy coping skills

We all want to lead a life in which our life dreams and inner potential are fulfilled. Sometimes life, and we ourselves, get in the way of pursuing these dreams and potentials. As a marriage and family therapist, I can help with these challenges whether they are within your relationships, career or your inner self. I am a client-focused therapist. I work in an engaged, supportive and relational manner. I use an integrative and holistic style in my therapeutic approach and take into consideration attachment, somatic, psychodynamic and mindfulness modalities.

It takes a village to build up our children's inner most strengths and help families and individuals through difficult times.

I have experience helping individuals and families with school related behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parent separation, and trauma.

Normal. What a trippy, pejorative word. And you’re almost fixated on it. Is what you are doing normal? Are your feelings normal? You just don’t feel normal. Fitting into the box of what everyone else is doing doesn’t feel good, but neither does being where you’re at. You as you are does not look like what you see everyone else doing/being. The constant comparisons are so painful, and you just can’t stop them. Something has to be fixed, but you are just not sure what or how. The suffering is becoming too much…
