Kids and teens do not express emotions and feelings like adults do, particularly those of the neurodivergent (2E) population.
Hello. My name is Kent and I specialize in helping kids, teens and their families live happier lives. I am an expert at bridging the communication gap between parents and kids. Is your teen angry or sullen? Slamming his fist through the wall? Screaming her lungs out at you because you are so unfair? How about your little kid? Is he having problems making friends? Perhaps your little girl can't concentrate in school. Maybe there is a tragedy in the family, such as a death, divorce or sudden illness. If so, I'd like to help.

By healing ourselves, we heal our ancestors. My goal as a therapist is to help clients become the most authentic version of themselves and take up space unapologetically. My ideal client will allow me on their journey to provide guidance to help identify and process through cultural and generational patterns and break cycles to grow and evolve as individuals within a community.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and the pressures of being an athlete.
Courage is a powerful virtue. In fact, Maya Angelou claimed that courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. I am passionate about supporting those finding the courage to do the hard things, whilst also healing the inner child. Lifelong growth, healing one's relationship with food and self, and providing a safe and comfortable space to explore are things I strive for in my sessions. I am direct, yet warm, empathy driven, collaborative, and curious - I truly just want to see you thrive and prosper through the therapeutic experience!

Over the past 30 years I’ve met and helped adults and teens with many kinds of mental health needs. Some start therapy in crisis, others have desired therapy for a long time, but have put it off. Couples want to finally stop having the same old fight and rediscover lost empathy. Entrepreneurs seek ways to be better managers or level up in business. Creatives need tools to deal with the fall-out from fields in flux. Often they’re parents frustrated by kids in challenging stages of development. Single and struggling with dating, married, straight or queer, most seek deeper self-awareness, or ways to mitigate loneliness or loss.

I consider it a great privilege to be part of someone's healing. be invited into some of people's most difficult moments, and create a space where they are free to be wholly human. I provide trauma-informed, Strength-based, culturally competent, and socially conscious therapy through a social justice framework. I believe the personal is political, and therefore, believe that therapy is inherently apolitical. I have a down to earth style in sessions and have had experience working in both a school-based and private practice setting with adolescents, adults, and couples.

As a graduate of Pepperdine University’s Marriage & Family Therapy Master’s program with an array of clinical experience, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create a more balanced, fulfilled life for each client.
Starting therapy can be overwhelming. My goal is to eliminate that stress and create a space for adolescents, adults, couples, and families to process emotions and explore their identities and their relationships in a non-judgmental, safe environment. We all undergo transitions and experiences that require additional support from an objective third party to allow us to thrive personally and interpersonally. I utilize individualized, evidence-based approaches to foster a collaborative environment that produces long-term change.

I provide individual psychotherapy to adults (18 and over), specializing in working with musicians, artists, sensitive people, veterans, with issues such as anxiety, self-doubt or “impostor syndrome,” trauma, stress, and depression.
Many of us go through life doing our best to appear that we have it together and that we’re doing what we “should” do, but inside we may be hiding painful feelings, self-doubt, anxiety, indecision, overwhelm, and stress. To move forward, we must heal from our past, connect to ourselves in the present, and nurture our strengths to build confidence to know that we can handle whatever challenges the future may bring.

Is this a critical time or are you feeling stuck? At various times in our lives we reach a crossroad. Changes in your relationships, your work, your finances or about planning your future can cause anxiety and stress. I have successfully worked with people during these transitions. In treatment, I follow a holistic approach using various modalities such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and coaching. We will identify your road blocks by exploring your worries and your fears, providing you with coping skills to achieve the life you want.

I have experience working with children, teens, and adults with trauma, depression, codependency, anxiety, parenting, and relational issues.
People come into therapy for many reasons such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting-child relationship issues, and trauma. But one reason remains the same: the desire for change. I acknowledge that change can be sometimes scary and difficult to confront. I'm here to help you through this process. My goal is to provide a safe and warm environment for us to work as a team to address what's going on in your life. I believe everyone deserves a space and opportunity to be heard and understood.

My focus is on building healing and developing strong personal relationships. I believe successful relationships are the key for psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I provide insight therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, abuse, and low self-esteem. Insight into these problematic concerns can help heal the pain that is interfering with a person's life. I view therapy as an adventure into the world within. It's vital to understand the inner forces that fuel our feelings. A respectful understanding of these dynamics will create a fresh perspective and promote a mastery of our lives, to know one's own person, preference, and boundaries.
