My joy as a therapist comes from working with kids, teens, and young adults (ages 5-25) who struggle to manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Kids, just like adults struggle to manage their emotions, however, unlike adults, they don’t quite have the developmental skills yet to communicate what they are experiencing.

Hi there! My name is Israella, but you can call me Issy. I know how crucial finding the right therapist is for your mental health journey.

However, life often presents us with unexpected challenges, leaving us feeling unprepared.

I believe the therapy space is a sacred space, where you are supported, listened to, and seen. Healing is a journey, and it involves engaging more than our minds and our thoughts. Healing happens somatically as well, in our bodies. This is why I am also deeply interested in being with what you are feeling physically and emotionally. In therapy, it's essential to tend to our whole being, every part of ourselves - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

I view therapy as an opportunity to recognize the strengths of each person, the uniqueness of each story, and to find ways to use those strengths to create change and growth.

Life is complex and there is rarely a single issue that brings someone to therapy. From struggling with identity and purpose in life to contemplating the meaning and nature of death, human existence is challenging and often painful. These existential givens are further burdened by experiences of trauma, oppression, terminal illness, grief, and the climate crisis. In this harsh world it seems easier to hide our vulnerabilities and find ways to escape, avoid, or numb our feelings - often losing ourselves in the process. Loneliness and fear can keep us trapped in toxic cycles, but we aren't meant to struggle alone.
