I’ll help you transform your relationship & save your
family
.
Your children are watching you make a mess of your marriage. Sadly, neither of you feel understood or appreciated. You are each defensively protecting your position, yet things can’t keep going like this. It’s a lose/lose battle with the children as collateral damage. You’ve each gotten so good at ignoring & denying your partner’s point of reference, that you’re ready to throw it all away to win a fight. It’s not just your marriage at risk. Your children are now witnessing marriage as a disaster. What impact will this have on their future relationships? What are you role modeling to them?

Stress can affect every aspect of our lives. For example, a serious health problem can disrupt all aspects of your life, whether it’s a chronic or an acute life-threatening illness. You may feel hopeless, irritable, angry, and depressed. Relationships with
family
and friends may become strained. Being unable to engage in one's daily routine or attend school or work may be challenging, and you may experience stress related to academic performance, job security, or financial concerns, especially when the future is unclear.

We all deserve to feel seen, included, and understood, no matter who we are. As an LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist, my aim is to help you better see yourself in all aspects of who you are, feel more included in relation to those around you, and experience a greater understanding of how you fit into a wider world. Maybe you’re exploring your non-binary gender for the first time. Maybe you’re supporting a transgender
family
member or partner. Maybe you’re working through relationship challenges as an LGBTQ+ person. Together, we can explore what “seen,” “included,” and “understood” mean for you and how you can achieve them.

family
, friendships, and intimacy.
Have you been feeling like you are out of your comfort zone lately?

Have you been relying on drugs or alcohol to cope? If you are, you are not alone. I can imagine the difficulty you may be going through, but know that you can feel better with some genuine care and guidance. I will help you gain deeper insight about yourself and your stressors so that you are able to move on from past and present issues that have anchored you in distress.

Psychological Associate, PsyD
Are you locked in patterns of drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, insomnia, infidelity, mood or thought disorders? As an empathic therapist, I utilize EMDR within a
family
systems approach. My life's work is helping people uncover and target problematic patterns. Once patterns are uncovered, we take simple steps toward change. If you struggle with ADHD, Asperger's or learning differences, I would like to help you construct the right niche, where you can be successful and happy, feeling supported and understood. Changes made in therapy are rewarding. I want to be part of your change process.

Lila Kates
Marriage & Family Therapist, LILA, KATES, PhD
Verified
I work with individuals, children and others who affect or are affected by a dysfunctional
family
dynamic.
Many clients assume their marital relationship will be monogamous and free of major conflict. When they find their expectation are not met or an extramarital affair does occur-- the result is betrayal, anger, and depression. I teach couples how to "fight fair" express their feelings and thoughts, and understand and hear each other in order to accept one another's strengths and flaws without compromising their own needs. Knowing what causes the breakdown in the marriage can actually help strengthen the relationship.

My post-doctoral training strengthened my ability to work effectively with children and their families, in addition to helping couples and parents.

Danielle Matthew
Marriage & Family Therapist, MFT

I am a Licensed Marriage and
Family
Therapist who specializes in helping children who have been bullied.
Do you have a child who is being bullied? Are you wondering what you should do to help? Or, have you tried to help and feel that you're getting nowhere? If this is your situation, I understand how helpless you may feel. Bullying is a serious issue that can affect an entire
family
. I understand the impacts of bullying, and the effects that it can have on the victim. Those who are bullied can be impacted physically, emotionally, and relationally, which is why I believe that helping children heal from bullying is just as important as bully prevention.
