Life is not easy. We inevitably experience obstacles that interfere with relationships and ability to take care of our responsibilities. At these times, it can be tremendously valuable to find a safe place to ally in self-exploration with a trusted individual who can offer new perspectives. The right therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust and transparency is powerfully transformative. This takes courage, and I honor your willingness to take this step.

Life can throw different challenges at you at any time and struggle can show up in our lives in many ways. This can naturally create feelings of discouragement or discomfort that present in life through our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

My role is to join you in your journey of overcoming those challenges and struggles and take steps toward your goals. I am currently registered in California as an associate MFT. I have years of experience working in school, remote and in-person settings.

Hi! My name is Dr. Tristin Engels (PSY29403), and I am a licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of effective therapy is building and maintaining a therapeutic rapport. Without that, treatment success will be negatively impacted. As a clinical forensic psychologist, I have worked with extremely diverse and underserved populations for the majority of my career. This has been invaluable in allowing me exposure and experience working with nearly all mental health conditions, understanding cultural sensitivity and building rapport with the most resistant of clients.

The truth about mental health is that being mentally healthy is not simply being happy all the time and perfect relationships are not born they are built. It is a fact that life is full of twists and turns with amazing highs and heartbreaking lows, not just for the individual but for couples and families as well. True mental health is the ability to navigate through these points while embracing the full range of your emotions and honoring them and every part of yourself! This is the stuff that mentally healthy and strong people and relationships are made of and this is where my passion lies!

My hope is that within the therapeutic relationship, inner freedom and growth in self-awareness will be experienced, as well as healing and transformation in your relationship with yourself and others.

What doesn't hurt you makes you stronger.....but don't show your emotions!" Hi, I am David Vest, LMFT103919, in California and I specialize in trauma-informed. I have been practicing since 2010 and also work with anxiety, depression, cognitive disorders, substance use, and couples. I am most successful with adults and have currently limited practice with those over 18. I focus on the strengths and perspectives that people bring with them. I believe most of us already have many answers to our own problems and treat each person as their own expert.

Are you noticing that you and your partner seem to struggle with communication yet succeed in conflict with each other? Do arguments fail to be resolved and instead it's one issue after another? Do you feel tired and hopeless about your relationship? Trust and commitment alone are difficult things to cultivate, let alone building insight and effective communication.  Whether you're wanting help early or this is the last ditch effort, bravo for your willingness and bravery for exploring your options. Also, if your past still affects your present, do you want to continue allowing those traumas to weigh heavy in your life?
