You feel overwhelmed and lonely in your relationship. You want to create healthy habits, balance work and family while living and parenting with intention. You are someone who wants to have pleasurable and connected sex with your partner. You love each other and are committed, but this is hard, and you really wish there was a manual. You worry it will be like this forever and do not know where to start. You are ready to stop struggling and instead, create or rekindle a joyful and meaningful relationship, deepen your emotional connection and to feel like partners again. I am here to walk alongside you and to help you get there.

You Matter. You are not broken. You may be struggling with past or present trauma, abuse, religious trauma, failures, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, life transitions, or toxic family relationships – but this does not equate to brokenness. My approach to therapy is specific to who you are and what you need at this point in time. I love the work that I do and I am looking forward to helping you find your way to peace and comfort.

Monday at 4:00pm available in person or online- Thursday at 3:00 in person or online ———-I’ve found that therapy is most powerful when there is a combination of traditional western methodology and eastern philosophy practices. Together, we’ll discuss who you are. I’ll form questions that provide insight into your systems, and patterns. We’ll discuss family of origin. Time and time again. We’ll talk about diet; we’ll talk about love. We’ll discuss death. Together we’ll uncover aspects of your human experience and award you the opportunity to look further inward.

Hi & Welcome! I'm a highly skilled Marriage & Family therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience with clients & supervision of interns. I have a B.S. in Communications & a M.S. in Marriage & Family Therapy. If you are in need of immediate help/relief or looking for long-term therapy, I can definitely address your concerns as I am trained in both. My areas of expertise are working with adults, teens, relationships, & families looking to create authentic, lasting change. My style is collaborative, compassionate, directive, & fun. Hope is essential for Healing. Resilience is essential to Thrive. I can help you achieve both.

Hello! I love to help teens ages 16+ & adults with their challenges: AuDHD, anxiety, coming out/dealing with family as LGBTQIA2S+ folx, communication with partners/family/friends, confidence, college/career counseling, & "finding yourself"/big life transitions & all the super fun existential crises we all go through from time to time. We can explore how you see the world/your place in it & how you want to make your life different. Let's chat about your experiences, improve your communication & connection with others, discover yourself, & how to utilize your unique personality, skills, & talents for awesome things!

Maybe you're tired of suffering from being bossed around by OCD or anxiety. Perhaps you’re in a painful life transition and feeling uncertain, afraid, or lost. I’m glad you’re here. If you feel hopeless, I believe things can get much better, one step at a time. Although it sure can feel this way, rather than viewing OCD or anxiety as a monster trying to torture us, I see it as a hypervigilant alert system whose aim is to keep us safe at all costs. Retraining that alert system can help us get unstuck, heal, and thrive. I never claim to have the answers for anyone’s life, but I love helping people find answers within themselves.

I am a queer feminist licensed marriage and family therapist associate. I show up to my sessions as an authentic, plant loving, halloween enthusiast. In our work together we will explore and identify those themes in your life that may not serve who you are now. We live in a society with social constructs that people struggle with, Particularly my clients who are LGBTQIA+, and sex positive. I help separate you from the stories that are having a negative impact. What are these stories? My work, education, and passion center around finding out what those what those themes and stories are to help you work towards your goals.

I offer therapeutic sessions for individuals, couples, youth, and families. I help facilitate a process where people can develop insight and understanding of what may be holding them back from wellness, joy, and personal growth. Sometimes this may involve family patterns, behaviors that are not in line with one's values, or relationships that are no longer serving you. My job is to create safety for people to share their authentic selves, honoring strengths and navigating challenges together. My intention is to honor your gifts and to expand new ways of thinking or approaching situations to better meet your goals.

Do you feel like your partner just doesn’t hear you? Do you have the same fight over and over without resolution? Maybe you’re desperate for more emotional and sexual intimacy and don’t know how to get your needs met. Or perhaps you feel alone even when they’re right beside you. Let’s work together to better your communication, resolve conflict, create a stronger, more secure attachment, and learn how to express and receive your emotional and sexual needs. I support all relationship dynamics and structures, especially LGBTQIA+, kink, BDSM, and polyamorous/ENM.

Current openings! I'm queer and I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ and nonmonogamous adults around trauma, family of origin issues, gender affirming care, and anxiety, including OCD. Before therapy, many of my clients think: Being in my head is stressful- there are things I'm fearful of talking about, or even thinking about. My past is still affecting me. Setting boundaries can be really hard. Sometimes I have nightmares or flashbacks of things I've been through. If that sounds like you, I can help. Therapy can be a safe, non-judgmental space to make sense of your experiences and create meaningful change in your life.

You will not need to waste your therapy session educating me about "alternative" lifestyles! I have expertise working with individuals, couples, and groups represented across all genders, identities, orientations, and relationship types (alternative lifestyle practices and non-mono normative relationships included). I offer individual and partner(s) therapy, including but not limited to LGBTQ+, Polyamory, Kink and Religious Trauma. I am here to assist individuals and family units of all kinds, including traditional, non-traditional, adoptive, fostering and blended. Additionally I have experienced as a CODA and using ASL.

I believe in the importance of helping individuals seeking to show up authentically in all parts of their lives. Through compassion, non-judgmental guidance, and by challenging patterns where you find yourself stuck, we are able to promote personal growth and change. I work with individuals and couples to better understand their boundaries and how to strengthen their ability to communicate them. My approach to counseling is informed by CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, and EMDR. EMDR therapy is an effective therapy method that supports healing from trauma, ingrained negative core beliefs, and other distressing life experiences.

Hi, my name is Alagna (pronounced Ah-lah-nya), I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families interested in finding meaningful support as they navigate personal and relational challenges. I take a deeply systemic approach to therapy, considering you as an individual and conceptualizing the influence of familial and social systems in your life. I view healing as a holistic journey encompassing awareness, reflection, and embodiment. I take special pride in working with folks who have experienced complex family trauma, or sexual trauma, or feel a sense of existential meaninglessness in their life.

I am a holistic, integrative, person-centered, culturally considerate therapist for adolescents ages 13 & up, individuals, partners and families. I am curious, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I believe communication with yourself and others is at the heart of successful relationships. I also believe that you know what you need to heal and my job is to help you get more in touch with that part of yourself. As an empathetic witness, advocate, and guide, I will help you increase your self-awareness and sense of agency through mindful observation, personal exploration, and collaborative experimentation.

I am a collaborative, directive, and supportive therapist, who can help you find new ways of thinking about life problems in a supportive and safe environment. My goal is to build trust and collaborate with you if you are dealing with problems related to anxiety, depression, relational issues, and other life challenges and transitions.

As you enter counseling, I want to applaud you for having the courage to embrace growth and vulnerability. You may be feeling stuck, withdrawn, or emotionally overwhelmed. It can be cathartic and healing to address wounds that leave us feeling disconnected. Therapy can help build a deeper connection to yourself and others, gain awareness, and develop a stronger foundation to live a life you desire. I currently have immediate openings and enjoy working with individuals ages 15+ and dyadic relationships of all structures.

I work with clients who are ready for transformative work. My focus is to guide each client/s towards building a sense of competency, resourcefulness and helping them recognize that they hold the key to their own healing. I will explore current behaviors and life situations with clients and help them figure out which ones are inhibiting progress, which ones are serving them, and which are ready to be evolved into something else. I also like to look at the past, and family of origin to find what the patterns are that are ready to be broken and how to move forward in an empowered way. I help clients bring to life their next self.

I work collaboratively with you to identify stories or obstacles posing problems in your life so you can move through them. Whether you are a teen, an adult, a couple, or a family system, I utilize an integrative approach that is holistic and strength-based, supporting you in making peace with the past & the present, in order to live in a healthy balance of mind, body, & spirit. I work from a multicultural & justice-oriented context; am LGQBT+ friendly, & support you in your individual belief system, exploring the way dominant narratives have impacted you. I have experience working with complex trauma & grief.
