Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

As a Certified Brain spotting Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, with 15 years in the mental health field, I use Brain spotting and
mindfulness
modalities to compassionately collaborate with individuals.
Fear, reactivity, anxiety, intense triggers, sadness, relationship challenges can be a result of negative experiences and trauma which make it difficult to have meaningful relationships and achieve goals. Brain Spotting works within the deep brain and body through its direct access to your autonomic and limbic systems within the body's central nervous system to identify, process and release core sources of emotional/body pain to provide relief from symptoms caused by negative experiences and trauma.

I incorporate principles of
mindfulness
, compassion, and living in the present moment into my therapy.
I believe there is a solution to every "problem." I am solution focused and look at the individual as a complete human being with everything needed to be happy and successful right inside. I operate from a wellness model rather than a disease model. Being an adult means taking accountability for what does not benefit one under one's own skin. I take a humanistic, cognitive approach focusing on skills grounded in
mindfulness
and self-observation. With new insights and skills, we can operate from love instead of fear, from the present moment instead of childhood belief systems, with compassion instead of defenses and blame.

mindfulness

Living a vibrantly connected life has been the common theme of my work in supporting others since 2005. The people who benefit the most from working with me are those who desire to live well yet are uncertain going about it.
Jalena Rusaw
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MS

My practice specializes in high-conflict matters including the treatment of high-risk behaviors, and high-conflict family problems within and outside of the family and criminal court systems. Recognizing the dynamic needs of high-risk cases, I keep relevant on the research as well as continuing education to ensure competence in my areas of practice. The process of reunification and co-parenting is complex and therefore, I do not bill insurance for these services. I offer these services in-person in CA, but also strive to reunify families from Nevada and Oregon as I am licensed in all three states; telehealth is used in most cases.

It takes courage to reach out and seek help, and for many people, the idea of opening up to a complete stranger is scary and anxiety-provoking. But I believe in therapy, and one of the most important aspects in therapy is that you feel heard, respected and understood. My first task is to welcome you as a unique individual, with your own strengths and values.

HI! I seek to help you to determine & embrace who you are while also learning to create a centered picture/narrative you choose to want. This is true for those in relationships that might feel lonely, or separate from their partner and seek a connection, to those who might feel lost in their own skin, job, the world, and looking for some sense of direction. There are those who suffer from lack of relationships either intimate, friendship and with their family, as well as those who have suffered from traumatic experiences, and would like to work through them in order to create their own idealistic place of happiness.
