I enjoy working with individuals, couples, groups and families. My treatment approach is to provide support and insight to help clients address current life challenges and long standing issues. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a primary intervention and skills training for those clients seeking solutions for issues related to emotional regulation, interpersonal communication breakdowns, and difficulties in managing stress and personal balance.

Hi, I’m Kristy. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps couples and individuals build stronger, more connected relationships — both with their partners and with themselves.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns of disconnection, misunderstanding, or emotional distance. For couples, that might look like disconnection, communication breakdowns, loss of emotional safety, or feeling like you’re having the same argument again and again. For individuals, it can show up as struggling to feel secure in relationships, or learning how to show up for yourself in more compassionate ways.

Hi, I'm Sara, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 23 years of experience, licensed in California and New Mexico.

That experience inspired me to become a therapist and dedicate my career to helping others find support, healing, and hope. I believe therapy is a gift for both the client and the therapist, and it's a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate life's challenges and discover their own strength.
