Hi there, I’m Rupa. Are you living the authentic life you envision for yourself? Does your dream match your reality? I help individuals of all ages to discover who they truly are. Together, we will explore your strengths and passions. We will also identify any obstacles which may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. I incorporate a variety of interventions into sessions to help process deep feelings- with the goal of building strength and resilience as you begin writing your next chapter.

My goal as a therapist is to demonstrate that therapy can be affirming, hard things can be explored, and "feelers" don't have to be so uncomfortable. Self-care and mindfulness can feel like buzz words, and I hope to find language and skills that fit into your philosophy's and life style. My therapeutic style is underlined by my compassion and candor, and guided by more than 10 years of experience working in a nonprofit agency. Emotionally loud individuals/families and not-so-helpful decision making are welcomed!

Life is hard. So many demands from so many places all coming towards you at once. It is too much pressure. You don't have to do it all, and certainly not alone. When feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, therapy can provide a space to have time to focus on you: to be heard, to get feedback, and to process through the hard stuff that's going on in your life. Let's work on untangling all of that, so you can have more freedom to focus on the stuff that brings you joy.

Inasmuch as we all face suffering in various forms throughout our lives, the good news is that there is hope for healing, and we don't have to go it alone. If you are experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, marital, relationship, and/or parenting issues, the effects of trauma, loneliness, addictive/compulsive behaviors, are struggling with a life transition or with pastoral/leadership challenges, are desiring support in your spiritual journey, or perhaps are simply unsure of where to turn, I would be grateful for the opportunity to journey with you toward the abundant life you were created for in Christ (Jn 10:10).

I am passionate about working with you to develop freedom and resilience to deal with past childhood trauma and everyday stress of life.

My focus is to engage the whole person: mind, body, will, spirit and emotions. My intention is to bring hope, resilience and grace into all difficult life experiences.

TELEHEALTH SESSIONS now available! As a nation, we are being inundated with conflicting information, and you may find yourself feeling stressed, lonely and even overwhelmed during this time of uncertainty.

I have been in private practice for 14 years, during which I have worked with adolescents and adults sorting through a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues and spiritual struggles related to mental health.

I offer a genuine, compassionate and respectful relationship with clients, so they can reach greater self-awareness and insight. My goal is to help clients to reach greater satisfaction and balance with quality of life overall.

My specialty is working with people who have issues arising from sexual behavior problems, including sexually abusive behavior, sexual addiction, pornography addiction and Internet addiction. While sex can be a pleasurable part of life, its misuse can lead to infinite heartache and misery. Sexual behavior problems are multifaceted, and are often rooted in an attempt to cope with painful non-sexual issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and broken relationships. I work with individuals who have acted out sexually and also with survivors of sexual abuse and trauma.

First and foremost I am a journey-mate on this wild and crazy path we call life. I am passionate about helping myself and others tap into our innate goodness and the grandeur of our spirits. More than that, I desire for all of us to overcome fear and conditioning so that we can live into the fullness of our true selves. My work as a personal therapist, meditation teacher, and yoga instructor is geared to help nurture my fellow journey mates into their highest soul essence. My style is compassionate, empowering and directive.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents. I have worked in a residential treatment home, community agency, psychiatric unit, and school setting; subsequently, I have experience working with a variety of issues. Some issues that I particularly enjoy working with include, but are not limited to, behavioral and relational issues, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also enjoy working with athletes and sports-related issues. My approach is warm, accepting, interactive, and collaborative, and I work to tailor treatment to meet a client's individual needs through the use of a variety of treatment modalities.

My purpose and passion as a therapist exists in helping my clients face their issues head-on and reassuring them that they're not alone in their fight. I strive to build strong and trusting relationships with my clients because I firmly believe that a collaborative relationship between client and therapist is most effective. It’s important to me to show up for my clients and to be present for them because they have taken that tough first step towards finding healing, and to me, it is an honor to come alongside them on their journey.

Hi! My name is Breanna Todd, and I am an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR practitioner, who wholeheartedly believes in therapy being a very human experience. I want to be a partner with you in this healing process, and I am passionate about meeting each and every client exactly where they are. I want clients to feel safe, respected, and authentically cared for in the presence of their therapist.

Everyone deserves a safe, compassionate, nonjudgmental space to work through the life's challenges. I value culturally competent and inclusive care in my practice. I help teens and adults working through issues with relationships, anxiety, depression, complex trauma, OCD/uncontrollable ruminative thoughts, mood disorders, life transitions, feelings of panic, or disordered eating patterns. My specialization lies in unraveling the roots of unhelpful patterns, addressing their symptoms, and working through barriers to create meaningful, lasting change.

Utilizing a non-judgemental and collaborative approach I work with clients to increase self awareness, identify and express emotions, and seek out change in order to build a more positive relationship with themselves and those around them. Using a Relational approach I help clients process patterns of relationships throughout their lives while seeking out positive support systems to help them cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, trauma or relational issues.

I know how difficult it can be to take those first steps in seeking out a new therapist. Life can be challenging in many ways and can be difficult navigating alone. I take great care in providing a safe and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their lives and various obstacles in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way. Some of the modalities I use include CBT, DBT, ART, IFS, Psychoanalytic, and Holistic. Building a trusting relationship and witnessing each client's journey is what I find most fulfilling about my work as a therapist.

My experience encompasses the successful treatment of a wide range of mental health issues, including: anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, bipolar disorder, grief, and relationship issues including infidelity. My goal is to build a safe connection with my clients. Within our therapeutic relationship, clients are enabled to honestly assess themselves and their circumstances, charting a path to healing- a re-integration of mind, body, soul, environment/community.
