If you are encountering difficulties emotionally, in your relationships, or in your career, a safe and attuned therapeutic relationship can be transformative. My approach is relational, warm, and collaborative. I draw from attachment theory and evidence-based practices such as Eye Movement Desenitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-informed therapy (DBT-informed), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as mindfulness-based interventions.

I can help be the non-judgmental bridge between you both, teach new skills, and help recreate the connection and trust that was once lost. Or, you may be having trouble finding yourself after a break up, or a traumatic event, have lost of sense of self, anxiety or depression.

Hi. I'm Ninel. After receiving my Master’s in Counseling Psychology/Marriage and Family Therapy and spending a few thousand hours on internships, I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve worked in various settings, from psychiatric hospitals and residential facilities to my practice, in the last ten years.

Many people experience anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. Often, they feel there is no one to trust and no one who can understand them. The impact of this emotional suffering can make daily life painful. It can put strain on relationships with family, friends, and peers. I specialize in working with individuals and have found that there are similar challenges that we all face while trying to navigate through our daily lives.

Are you struggling to get out of bed in the morning? Are you finding it harder and harder to get through the day? You are not alone. Depression and anxiety affects an estimated 792 million people across the globe. Depression can come in many forms but it is treatable. Remission is possible with the right tools and support. We can work together to build the skills necessary not only to survive, but to thrive in a healthier & happier version of you! With over 10 years of professional experience, I specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety using evidence-based practices.

I believe that when a person feels truly understood and validated, it can inspire a whole new way of thinking and being. I aim to provide a non-judgmental space allowing clients the opportunity to be their true self. In my practice, I support people who want more acceptance, authentic connection and meaning in their lives. I work with people who feel stuck with negative thoughts, low self-esteem, self-doubt, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, or fear, as well as people who are deciding what it means to show up as themselves in different areas of their life.

Hola hola! Thank you for being here and prioritizing your well being. You might be grappling with different challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or significant life transitions. You may need a space to process, coping strategies, enhancing self-esteem, and improving relationships. I am here to provide you with all of that - and whatever else you need! I want to get to know all of my clients as individuals so I can support them the best way I can.

As a therapist who is Chinese-American, a child of immigrants, and a first generation college student, I am passionate about working with clients who struggle with identity conflicts, discrimination, intergenerational trauma, self-esteem, spirituality, and core values. I understand the nuances and challenges of growing up bicultural and how that can have adverse impacts on the way we function in the world today. Through therapy, we can unlearn stuck ways of thinking, feeling, and responding. In time, you can feel empowered and thrive in the systems you once felt oppressed in.

Are you feeling shame, fear or guilt, but trying to ignore it? Does depression, grief, or relationship issues make you feel scared and confused? I'd like to help. Emotions can feel messy. If you've been trying to put distance between you and your feelings, you've probably realized that that's not working, and you only end up severing the connection to yourself. I can help you take a new approach, look at those strong emotions differently, and understand what they're trying to tell you.

For over 30 years, I have been helping individuals, families and couples through their journey of self discovery, with awareness of the roots of their issues, and with tools for growth, for self improvement and improved relationships in a safe, warm and supportive environment. In addition, I specialize in cross- cultural therapy and effective parenting tips for parents. I possess Armenian and Arabic language skills. I have written a book on effective parenting skills in Armenian for Armenian parents. I have trained interns in the field of Psychotherapy for 17 years.

My skills and experience have allowed me to deal with various diverse cultures who are reluctant to seek treatment due to stigma. Having been raised as Armenian and Greek, I have experienced the multicultural and societal pressures firsthand. In the face of a person experiencing a challenging life event , even the most competent person may need extra support or guidance. Everyone has problems and there is no shame in seeking help. It is my goal to create a safe Christ Centered environment for you to navigate through issues of acculturation, emotional scars from the past that prevents you from pursuing Gods purposes.

My approach to therapy is tailored to the your needs. I enter into therapy with whatever you bring into the session.

I believe people do the best they can given the context of their lives. As people evolve, what once worked may no longer be functional. I work in a collaborative approach to assist people in accessing a deeper level of awareness to promote healing and change.

Finding your voice and identifying your needs can help you feel happier and build more fulfilling relationships. I provide a safe place for you to work through emotional challenges. Through our work together, you'll move beyond the stuck places to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and how to express yourself. In therapy we'll work together to explore behavioral patterns and help you feel more emotionally safe and free. Together we can find the relief, personal growth, and peace that you seek.

Are you struggling with feelings of sadness, or frequently feeling anxious and worried? Do you question your worth at times or feel bad about yourself? Are you feeling frustrated with the state of your significant relationships with others? Do you have difficulty breaking undesirable habits, but feel frustrated and baffled when slide back into those unhealthy patterns again and again. Together within a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, you can receive the guidance, care, and compassion you deserve. As a therapist that specializes in trauma informed therapy modalities, I help clients to break unwanted habits and patterns.

I assist clients in developing insight into patterns within their behavior and relationships that are unsuccessful for them. Since these patterns are often shaped by the clients past, this is also something we explore. This awareness, combined with learning new ways of thinking and behaving, helps clients develop more effective and satisfying reactions, relationships and life choices. Believing in an individualized therapy approach, I develop a treatment plan unique to the needs and circumstances of each person. Within a supportive, accepting therapy relationship, the client gradually discovers their authentic self in a manner that helps to resolve their initial questions and concerns.
