One of my passions in this field is the healing/ growth/ transformative experience that an individual can have through trauma work. I have continued my clinical work providing therapy services to children and adults who have experienced trauma and/or significant adverse life events. This work is deeply meaningful to me and it has led me to seek advanced training on the treatment of trauma via evidenced based practices as well as emerging and established therapeutic models. I combine my advanced trauma training and the use of solution-focused, mindfulness, and strength-based therapeutic interventions in my clinical approach.

Hi there, I'm Julia! For my approach as a therapist, it is of the highest importance for clients to feel seen, heard, understood, and respected. Research shows that the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client can determine therapy outcomes, so I greatly value the connection made between myself as a therapist and you as the client. I recognize the vulnerability and reaching out for help isn’t easy, so my approach could be described as non-judgmental, curious, warm, empowering, empathetic, and client-centered to facilitate a safe space.

Do you ever feel pressured to “do it all” but feel depleted and stuck? If so, you are in the right place! Whether these feelings stem from relational trauma, perinatal stress, anxiety, or an overall sense of overwhelm, I believe healing is possible. I am a relational therapist who values the mind-body connection and incorporates somatic work (at your comfort level). If you are struggling with a new hormonal or metabolic diagnosis, I also specialize in working with women impacted by Hashimotos, PCOS, and Hypothyroidism. I believe humor and compassion are the perfect pair in the therapeutic setting.

Hi there, I'm David! I have over eight years of experience working in a number of mental health settings from emergency rooms to inpatient acute hospitals to outpatient clinics. I generally work with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral issues, codependency, and life transitions. I typically practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and individualize my approach based on clients' needs. In my experience helping others, I have come to believe that therapy can truly be a transformative experience for those who want to make a change in their lives.

Your mental health is very important. Whether you are struggling with a new problem or one that has been ongoing, an emotional problem or a biochemical one, or even relationship challenges, getting support can make a world of difference. Establishing a safe environment to talk and building a trusting relationship is essential in building a therapeutic relationship. I provide a warm and caring environment for you to trust and share intimate thoughts and feelings, including at times, conflicting thoughts, anxious feelings, depressed mood, and traumatic events.

My first clinical supervisor taught me that, "the healing is in the relationship", which I've found to be true and essential in my work to support your ability to overcome the difficulties that come with living. I focus on creating safety for you to show up as you are. We include your mind and body to identify and manage your intense emotions, navigate experiences that hinder your peace and sense of freedom, and explore new perspectives of yourself and your world.

I work collaboratively with adults, children and families across the lifespan to co-create a therapeutic relationship that helps them to recognize behavior and thinking that no longer works and discover new options for living. Using a relational, non-judgmental and compassionate approach, I help people who are navigating difficult life transitions, struggling with relationships, working through grief and loss and adjusting to living with physical or mental illnesses, including addictions and co-occurring disorders. I utilize sand tray therapy and expressive arts in my work with both children and adults.

I enjoy being a psychotherapist because it provides me the opportunity to help people resolve the issues that are causing them distress. I work with adults, children, and families, and understand that each person is a unique individual with his or her unique life circumstances, history, and social and cultural context. A goal of our work together will be to help you identify and understand the conflicts that may be causing you difficulty, and to help you overcome them. Or perhaps negative thinking patterns cause you to experience sadness, loneliness, hopelessness, fear, or other unwanted emotions.
