I work primarily with undergraduate and graduate students, young professionals, and emerging adults in their 20s & 30s.
Are you facing life's complexities and challenges? I'm here to help. As a therapist, I support clients in addressing a range of issues—whether they are current or rooted in the past. I firmly believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is foundational to improving the quality of our lives. That is why I work with clients in helping them explore aspects of themselves that may be interfering with their growth and development. Oftentimes this can manifest in the form of unhelpful behaviors, unhealthy ways of coping, or clinical disorders. Whatever it may look like, we can work through it together.

I practice psychodynamic therapy with adults facing depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship problems, and personality disorders.
"How we do anything is how we do everything." We move through life in a distinct way that was shaped before we can remember, reinforces itself everyday, and inevitably leads to the same problems despite our best efforts to change. Do anxiety and depression color your everyday experience? Has addiction taken hold of your life? Do you struggle to build satisfying relationships? Through courageous self-exploration, I can help you find compassion for yourself and come to understand why you encounter the same issues again and again. Building this understanding and taking responsibility for your life can empower you to heal and grow.

Hofstetter has decades of experience in the field of psychology, with expertise in relational and in-depth therapy for couples, older adolescents (18+), adults, and groups.
Those who gravitate to me for therapy are often incredibly strong, high-functioning people who have already fought harder in life than anyone should have to, just to make it through. If this sounds like you, know that you already have my respect before you walk through the door. Perhaps you now find yourself in adulthood after a traumatic beginning, ready to break generational cycles of pain or patterns of abuse that you’ve seen, but it’s still a struggle despite your best efforts. It has been my honor to help such individuals and couples achieve emotional peace and relationship harmony that once felt out-of-reach to them.

Although this is an area of focus, I also work with adults of all genders and backgrounds.
Author and psychologist Alice Miller once wrote, “Consciously experiencing our legitimate emotions is liberating. Repressed emotion can be resolved as soon as it is felt, understood, and recognized as legitimate.” Dr. Miller’s words capture my work as a psychotherapist. It is my hope to help my patients legitimately experience their complex emotional worlds in order to cultivate a rich and meaningful life. Although this is no easy task, I offer my partnership on this journey toward relief and healing, both internally and interpersonally.

I love working with adults and teens facing life transitions, interpersonal conflicts, emotional outburst and struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, and perfectionism.
Do you feel like aspects of your life have been unconsciously avoided but are now seeping through cracks? As a second generation Filipina-American, I view therapy as an opportunity to create a new blueprint on how you want to live your most meaningful life. From navigating my own journey in mental health, I have learned to be grateful for my emotions and to move towards the uncomfortable. I believe building awareness and by simply being curious around the uncomfortable parts of your life may provide an emotional understanding that could help you feel reconnected to your self.

I'm qualified to help with many challenges; however, I specialize in helping adults and couples work through trauma, improve communication, set boundaries, and live authentically in order to create lasting change.
Feeling overwhelmed? Or maybe out of control, lost, stuck, anxious, or like an imposter? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

Are you having a hard time? Life can be filled with many difficult situations. Most of us are doing the best we can and yet we still struggle. Some of the struggles are from current situations from being a spouse, a parent, an employee, a friend, a child, or a sibling. Other struggles are from old wounds that have resurfaced or have never gone away. Both of these situations can have a direct negative impact on your personal relationships, school and work performance, and your overall self-perception and self-confidence.

These are challenging and chaotic times that can lead to feelings of uncertainty, loneliness, and anxiety. I create a space that is warm, compassionate, and empathetic so you don't have to deal with these emotions alone. I love to work with young adults (20s-40s) experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties (whether you're partnered or trying to date in the 21st century), grief, life transitions, and issues related to spirituality. I especially enjoy working with therapists in training (trainees or associates) and single people who are wanting to gain more dating experience.

I treat anxiety, depression, grief/loss, ADHD, stress caused by learning disabilities, and trauma in adults, teens, and kids.
One of the bravest things you can do is start therapy! Working with me will mean having someone dedicated to supporting areas of life that have been difficult, stuck, and hard to change. Sometimes it may be assessing new behaviors or dynamics that have become confusing and surprising. In therapy, I believe listening to things spoken and unspoken has a powerful way of connecting us to untapped potential.
