Greetings! I'm Chera, and I have focused the scope of my private practice on very specialized (and desperately underserved) groups at high risk of suicidality within our community. Since 2016 I‘ve been helping our veterans/military with PsychArmor training, later realizing no one had the backs of our law enforcement. For this reason, I earned my certification as a first responder counselor and peer support team leader/trainer to provide crisis, cumulative trauma, and emotional agility training for our first responders.

I have had the privilege of witnessing people undergo the slow, extremely subtle and remarkable journey of healing and self-transformation. This process of psychological growth is astoundingly complex, multilayered, circular and even mysteriously numinous in its unfolding. My philosophy as a therapist is primarily on core transformation rather than merely symptom management and needless to say, I strongly believe in the centrality of the therapeutic relationship as a significant healing agent. Moving towards our wholeness necessitates the courage to first move into the wounded parts that we all have as members of the human species.

Welcome! What is a mosaic? It is little imperfect pieces of glass or tile that come together to form beautiful art. All the broken pieces of glass or tile can represent trauma, experiences, life journeys, goals, parts of our self that can be hard to understand to know how to incorporate them into our sense of who we are and how we want our life to feel. I have a passion for working with people to help put these pieces together in a way that creates the beautiful mosaic that is YOU!

My passion lies in supporting people who may feel stuck, stagnant, or caught in repeating patterns, and are ready to try something. Many of my clients hold the quiet weight of shifting between roles, adapting to feel accepted, and managing conflicting expectations. I honor the complexity of each person’s story and work collaboratively to support in meaningful change.
My areas of expertise includes racial and cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and the challenges of navigating multicultural or bicultural worlds, or those living at the intersections of multiple identities.

I work with people who are curious, reflective, and open to challenge the status quo. Have you ever felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood? Have you struggled to find words for your experience, yet parts of you long to be acknowledged? These moments can be uncomfortable and challenging, but they're also where growth, creativity, and self-discovery can emerge. Therapy offers a place to explore the parts of yourself that have been unseen, unheard, or unacknowledged - without judgement. Together, we can make room for your story, and connect to the parts of you that has not been recognized and understood.

I operate from a trauma-informed lens. I use evidence-based, holistic, somatic and indigenous practices in working through trauma. We all deserve safety in our connection to others, the world and ourselves. As a third-culture psychologist, my empathy seeks to deeply connect to yours. I am here to support anyone working on acceptance, belonging, compassion and safety. My method targets stuck places in your past that still interfere with your life today. I have been a counselor for over 17 years. I find meaning in the stability I’ve co-created with folx. I would love to hear from you if these are themes that resonate with you.

Finding the right therapist is as challenging as finding a solid friendship; it doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is life-changing. So here is a blurb about me: I work from a relational lens and aim to use the therapeutic relationship as a tool during session. I believe that the brain, mind, body, and environment interact and that interaction is an important aspect of therapy. Finally, I operate on the belief that you are the master of your own life and that my job is to walk this journey alongside you.

Are you in the midst of a major transition (into parenthood? out of a relationship? caregiving a loved one? kids fledging the nest?) or are you finding yourself in the wake of a painful loss, new diagnosis, or shift in your personal direction? These moments in our lives can be disorienting or feel like they collapse us entirely. I find it deeply meaningful to walk with people though these challenging or painful times in their lives and back out into the warmth and sun of the next chapter. I will create a safe place to share your story and goals, so we can craft a plan for healing and growth with your innate strengths and wisdom.

Hi, my name is BC. I have a deep passion for helping people move through personal transitions, work on identity and belonging, and strengthen their nervous system responses.

Hi, and welcome! I'm glad you stopped by to learn more about my practice. The majority of my clients experience anxiety, OCD or relationship challenges that disrupts their ability to feel at ease in daily life. Client's commonly describe feeling caught in worry, self-doubt, or pressure to get things “just right.” They often try to manage everything, meeting others’ needs or avoiding mistakes, yet still feel anxious, disconnected, or exhausted. Commonly we work to make sense of what drives these patterns and support you in finding calm, confidence, and self-trust so you can feel more at ease being who you are.
