Hello! I’m Jenn. As a therapist, I think it's amazing when my clients choose to work through their biggest worries and difficult moments and how brave they are to do so. I am passionate about having therapy be a safe space, where I can support your healing and your values. Your mental health does not define who you are. Instead, your vulnerability will help you develop your full potential.

I believe emotional regulation is the backbone to every choice we make. That being said, I am passionate about working with children because this is a skill that should be learned as soon as possible to ensure our success as adults.
Another population I focus on is first generation minorities. Being a first gen Latina myself, I have faced many struggles in finding professionals who look like me and are also bilingual. This cultivated my drive for providing access to quality mental healthcare for marginalized communities. It would be a privilege to accompany you on your healing journey.

Hello, my name is Shantila and as a therapist I do not believe that there is one counseling approach that works for every person, and for this reason, I take a more eclectic approach to work with my clients and select the method that allows me to best serve the needs of my clients. I am a strength based, person centered, trauma informed care provider.

Bill has a very straightforward and matter-of-fact approach to psychotherapy and counseling. He describes his approach as "change oriented", believing the client's inherent strengths provide the keys to growth and recovery. Bill recognized the profound role the family plays in mental health. Bill finds working with families especially rewarding. Much of that works includes couple and marriage counseling and youth.

First things first: come as you are. You be you, and I'll be me; everything else can be figured out after. I have three important rules in my space:
1) Be prepared to unmask over time as we grow more comfortable with each other;
2) Your comfort is paramount. If you're uncomfortable or uncertain about sitting and talking for a session, then let's fix that. You can draw, crochet, knit, craft, use fidgets, or even play video games in our sessions if it helps you open up. Bring what you want;
3) Sometimes healing means taking a break. This may be a short break from therapy altogether or coming to session to have someone listen only.

No two families are exactly alike. I'm honored to be able to learn about people, how they grew up, and how they're living now. I firmly believe everyone has the opportunity to reimagine their world, strengthening the bonds that heal them and limiting relationships that are less helpful. I love doing the work, and I look forward to joining people's conversations about life. I began my career as a therapist performing in-home therapy with a wide variety of clients. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, work-related issues, anger management, and family of origin stressors.
