Great News! You’ve made it. Way to go. Life can be so changing and demanding. Dealing with everyday stressors can get us down.

Everyone is unique, and there is no one size fits all approach.

My practice is dedicated to serving those who have endured the profound impacts of trauma, particularly intimate partner violence or sexual assault, as well as those grieving a loss. They are individuals who, despite their challenges, are motivated to initiate therapy, and may be grappling with mood changes, or troubling symptoms, with or without a diagnosis. Together, we will explore and develop healthy coping skills, paving the way toward healing and rediscovery of hope. They are determined to work towards a brighter, more resilient future with therapy.

I am a caring, eclectic, and nonjudgmental therapist who specializes in working with adolescents, ages 12-24. I come from a place of empowerment and am trained in CBT, DBT, talk therapy, motivational interviewing, and superhero therapy. I am also in the process of getting certified in TF-CBT. I start where the person I am working with is and get to know them! I try different things with clients and see what they like and don't like, and we go from there. I don't believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. I love helping young people work toward their goals and feel better about themselves!

I am so happy you are here! Seeking support can be intimidating, but it is an integral step in your healing journey. I believe in the importance of a collaborative therapeutic relationship and act as a partner to individuals seeking to heal from past experiences, process difficult emotions, and create a life full of joy and purpose. I will work alongside my clients to tailor unique interventions to meet their specific needs while fostering a sense of empowerment and self-discovery.

I work well with couples who are experiencing difficulties with communication, trust, violence, infidelity, divorce, and trauma. I am trained in EMDR and Focusing-Oriented therapy.

My group practice specializes in the treatment of trauma spectrum disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, trauma-related pain, and trauma-related somatic symptoms. Ongoing experiences of verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, and bullying can lead to these symptoms. Sometimes people suffer these effects because they have experienced chronic invalidation. We treat couples, people in non-traditional partnerships, adolescents who struggle with emotional and behavioral problems. We also treat survivors of sexual violence and targets of workplace bullying.

Hi there! I'm Diandra, a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychodynamic psychotherapist who blends cognitive behavioral therapy with narrative and solution-focused therapy in my practice.

Molly is an art therapist that practices with a person-centered approach with an emphasis on empathy, compassion, and genuineness. She seeks to promote creative expression and well-being through art therapy, but is able to work with clients who are seeking psychotherapy or working with a combination of both. Knowing that creating art can be intimidating, she creates a safe space for those who desire to express themselves in a non-verbal way. Molly focuses on building a trusting relationship with her clients and believes that establishing a meaningful relationship is most important in the healing process.

At some point in life, everyone finds themselves “stuck.” You may be stuck due to a traumatic event, a painful life transition, loss of relationship, family difficulties or concerning thoughts and feelings. Feeling stuck after these occurrences can cause a number of reactions including depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, intrusive thoughts and memories, isolation, and physical symptoms. My goal is to meet you at your “stuck point” and help you through the process of healing. I do this by providing a safe, nonjudgmental partnership that enables you to create goals and make strides towards them.

I love to work with any adult who is ready to show up and work, just as I am.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you've imagined. Are you at a crossroads in your life? Are you feeling stuck and wish you could change your perspective? Are you overwhelmed by emotions that make it challenging to navigate through life? You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, past or current traumatic events, or everyday life stressors. If so, you probably are seeking peace of mind, gratitude, hope, inner strength, and healthy coping skills. If this sounds like you, I welcome the opportunity to assist you on your path towards healing.

People most often contact me when a critical life event has occurred. They may be feeling anxious or depressed, or have become newly aware of a need to make changes in the way they handle their relationships, emotions, and self-esteem. For some, this is the beginning of a long journey of self-exploration. Others prefer to seek new, more effective tools to address the immediate situation. I think that a good clinician should be able to tailor the treatment to fit the needs and preferences of the client. Too often it is the other way around.

I have 31 years of experience helping people who are hurting change their lives. Often, we develop skills to survive difficult situations -childhood abuse, bullying in school, a bad car accident, sexual assault, an abusive marriage or boss - and it's hard to stop using those old skills, even when we no longer need them. We react in a new relationship as if we have to protect ourselves from things in the past. This often leads to more pain and unwanted outcomes. I can help you recognize those maladaptive coping skills. Change is difficult and often scary, but so worth it. I will be there cheerleading you as you practice new skills.
