Life can move fast and feel heavy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, lonely, or navigating big changes, it’s easy to lose touch with the version of yourself you long to be.

Instead of pushing through with pressure or self-judgment, we offer a gentler way—one that meets you where you are. Our trauma-informed team is here to support your healing with care, respect, and warmth. Reaching out takes courage.

Together, we will create a space to address these challenges.

Do you struggle with depressive moods or negative thoughts you wish you could just change or simply make go away? Wanting those dark thoughts to change, or hoping to run away from them, is completely normal. But avoiding those thoughts can leave us even more stressed, irritable, and disconnected from our loved ones. I promote compassion, honesty, and empowerment while working with clients who struggle with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I’m especially passionate about helping students, young adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals struggling with mood, personality, and eating disorders. Above all else, I’m focused on building a strong relationship with my clients, and I feel deeply privileged to be allowed into their lives. I make therapy a judgment-free zone where humor and warmth are a regular part of the process. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and allows each individual to guide their own recovery process. I can help you build upon the strengths you already have and develop even more coping skills for the various obstacles you may face. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe space for you to explore even the thorniest areas of your mental health journey. If you’re ready to make a change, give me a call today!

You aren't broken or damaged, you're a hero who needs help on their quest. I specialize in working with teens and adults who struggle with anxiety, grief, chronic pain, and performance challenges. I help by integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems, narrative, and strength-based therapies into a collaborative roadmap. In our first sessions, you can expect a thorough assessment, introduction to trauma-focused techniques like EMDR, and co-creation of a safe, strengths-focused environment. My practice is unique because I frame therapy as your hero’s journey, empowering you to harness resilience with evidence-based interventions.

Each session opens a doorway—an invitation to journey inward, where forgotten truths and hidden strength reside. This isn’t a path to fix what’s broken, but to remember what’s sacred.

Do you find yourself falling into patterns you just can't escape, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with feeling like you’ll never be able to change, feeling like nothing you try sticks, or feeling broken and discouraged. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to find fulfillment in the present and heal old wounds. You’re ready to understand and break out of your current patterns. Most of all, you’re ready to move past your past and towards a future you feel excited about. As an experienced trauma therapist trained in EMDR and somatic therapy, I believe that it’s essential to get to the root of your issues. You don’t have to continue feeling like you can’t escape the past and you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today for a free consultation. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you having trouble shifting from who your parents see you as to who you really are? College age years can be very difficult. You’re trying to figure out who you are, what makes you unique, and how to navigate the fears of being an adult. I can help.

I work with adults who may be struggling with adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, and depression. My approach to therapy is being open, empowering and meeting you where you are. The environment that I create is one of trust and peace. I want you to be yourself. My job is to create a safe space for you to communicate openly and freely in a trusting, nonjudgmental environment. I believe that you are the expert on all things you. Collaboration is key in our work together so that you can develop goals that are attainable, reflect your needs and strengths and enhance your life in a positive way.

Monica is a bilingual therapist and the child of immigrants who believes that true healing grows from the threads that connect us — to our bodies, to the people around us, and to the world we inhabit. Growing up between cultures, she learned early how identity, language, and community shape our sense of self. Her journey to counseling has been shaped not only by professional experience in diverse communities and holistic mind-body practices, but also by years of personal self-healing and self-discovery through reading, reflection, and engagement with feminist theory and history. These experiences have deepened her understanding of how gender, power, and society influence our inner lives and relationships. She works with women and femmes who have ADHD and has a nuanced understanding of how gender shapes ADHD lived experiences. Monica provides compassionate support for the unique challenges and strengths ADHD brings, helping clients navigate identity, relationships, and self-trust with insight and validation. In working with Monica, clients will learn about themselves and ways to leverage their neurodiversity to their benefit, allowing it to enhance their lives rather than hinder them. Monica is also passionate about supporting women in reclaiming their sensuality, self-trust, and pleasure, particularly in the wake of trauma. Her work in this area integrates conversation, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and embodiment practices, including yoga. By creating a safe and affirming space where clients can explore intimacy, desire, boundaries, and identity without shame, the therapeutic space allows clients to heal, reconnect, and embody their true sensual power. Through therapy, Monica guides clients to reconnect with themselves fully. In connecting to their bodies, minds, desires, and voices, clients can cultivate lives that feel grounded, empowered, and authentically their own.

You are just exhausted. Anxiety, depression, and insecurity runs your life more than your hopes and dreams do. The past keeps knocking at your door every time you try to open a new one. You are exhausted from people telling you how to live your life because THEY think they know what is best for you. These experiences are continuing to zap away the joy and confidence in your life. Disrupting the life you want to build, invading the relationships you want to keep, and even causing you to avoid everything that brings up those feelings. Are you done suffering from conforming pressures all around and ready to begin a new journey, healing from hurts and pioneering on a brand new path? Lets see if we are a great fit to work together!

Hi there! I'm passionate about helping students who want to work through Complex PSTD or complex trauma, functional depression & anxiety, and self esteem concerns. My goal is to help you get unstuck from a cycle of over functioning, people pleasing, disconnection and overwhelm, to a place of grounding, clarity and connection. I don’t see therapy as a one size fits all approach; I enjoy fostering a space that’s gender affirming and body positive, as well as sex positive and kink friendly/affirming. I also strive to provide a warm, supportive and judgment-free space that is culture affirming and trauma informed, with an understanding that you are the expert on your life. In my opinion, one of the most important factors in getting to a place of grounding and healing, is having a strong connection and fit with your therapist. In our work together, you’ll find that my style is warm, compassionate, and empathetic. From a person-centered approach, I like to pull in from different therapies and tools as needed depending on what is going on for you. I’m not afraid to talk about anything you need to! I approach things from a place of curiosity and non-judgment.

Hi, my name is Homero Lopez and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in working with adults that experience depression and anxiety associated with borderline, MDD, GAD and other challenges. I also work closely with relational challenges and couples. My focus is on non-traditional relationships. I work often with polycules, or individuals in nontraditional relationships to find balance and trust. My early sessions will be learning what you need and your goals for therapy. I have worked in places like the 988 crisis hotline and inpatient hospital settings where I provided comprehensive DBT group therapy for a wide variety of populations. I also heavily integrate Gottman methods into my couples work. I believe that everyone should have the capacity to live their life on their terms. Let's find that. I may sometimes seem to have a unique take on things as I think that we're all doing the best we can in the moment. I think that a lot of things people find to be different can make perfect sense given the right context. This doesn't mean that it's the most effective. Please feel free to schedule a call and let's see it make sense and what can be different.

Have you ever found yourself standing in the middle of a maze, unsure how you got there, and how to begin finding your way out? As a dually licensed practitioner with over 10 years of experience, I can understand how life's daily challenges, acute and chronic stress, traumatic experiences, and generational trauma can compound on a person, leaving them stranded in a complex maze without a clear path out. Throughout my clinical experience, I have worked with clients struggling with substance abuse/ addiction, acute and chronic stressors, suicidal ideation, family conflict, divorce, and trauma. I have specialized training working with women, young adults and military families, trauma and abuse, family conflict, and co-parenting issues. If you are ready to begin your journey with support, I will work alongside you to make meaningful and sustainable change, help you gain insights to patterns in your behavior, and work towards the life you envision for yourself. You can book with me via my website.

"I feel broken and I'm pissed about it." You were independent, high achieving, organized. Then you got the medical diagnosis, and everything changed. If you have been through a stressful or traumatic medical illness, you know firsthand the challenges of building a care team that you trust and coming into a new relationship with your body. My role is to partner with you as you face these challenges. If you are caregiving for individuals as they move through physical changes, it can be difficult to find balance. I can help you find your footing as you navigate caring for self and other, face difficult medical decisions, or move through anticipatory grief in the context of potentially complex relationship dynamics. "I just want to get back to normal." "What does it even mean to 'live with' this? How can they say that?" "This is happening on top of everything else! I don't have time to slow down, I'm in pain, and I can't sleep." "I had trauma before. This just makes dealing with it harder." These thoughts and reactions are not uncommon. Individualized, trauma-informed psychotherapy can help. To learn more, please reach out for a free phone consultation. I am happy to address any questions or concerns you may have prior to initiating therapy, and I look forward to meeting you soon.
