Life is HARD! When we come across and experience stressful, anxiety-provoking, or uncomfortable emotions or situations, they can truly impede the progress we're trying to make in our lives. Issues like OCD, anxiety, feeling down, self-doubt, or struggling with substances can transform our lives into a challenging maze. It's essential to equip ourselves with fresh strategies to confront these hurdles directly and cultivate the courage needed to unleash our inner strengths!

I believe therapy is an opportunity to create a new path toward living a meaningful life. Often struggles or hardships we experience push us into following old patterns that may not fit our values or how we want to effectively live our lives. It can also be space to understand how we can be more fulfilled or effective in our many roles. I specialize in treating trauma and whether the event happened a month ago, or 20 years ago, there are effective, evidence-based strategies we can use to grow beyond that harm. I also enjoy working with people in the areas of self-esteem, anxiety, attachment, relationships, & LGBTQIA+ issues.

I especially utilize prolonged exposure therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and eye move desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Hi, my name is Dr. Celia and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who opened my practice to help those who want to make a change in their lives. I specialize in working with trauma across the lifespan, which is how I know how significantly our brains and bodies can shift after a difficult event and/or a series of difficult life circumstances. Therapy is a space for us to explore how our past informs who we are. Being able to form meaningful relationships is a key part of our mental wellness, but it isn’t always so easy to do.

I have expertise in a range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, prolonged exposure therapy, cognitive processing therapy, motivational interviewing, and exposure and response prevention.
Therapy works best when there is a strong, trusting relationship between the client and therapist. My goal is to create a collaborative and supportive environment where you feel safe sharing your challenges and hopes for the future. I believe evidence-based therapy techniques are most successful when they are applied flexibly, taking the context of your life, personal identities, culture, and past experiences into account.

We strive for more than patient “functioning” as an end goal, supporting patients toward self-actualization and greater inner connection. If you feel stuck, consider a depth-oriented approach. Many patients have only experienced supportive or solution-focused therapies, not realizing how these approaches inadvertently maintained their unhelpful patterns. Together, we will strive to find the right answer, not just the quick one.
