Embracing the Narrative of Our Lives
“We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?” —The Doctor

Life Is a Collection of Stories
Life is a collection of stories, each one unique and full of meaning. We are wired for narrative, constantly shaping our inner worlds through the thoughts we hold, the sensations we feel, and the stories we tell.
Jen believes healing is rooted in the harmony of Mind, Body, and Story, a sacred triad where insight, embodiment, and personal narrative work together. She believes that every soul’s narrative weaves a tapestry of significance, and she delights in the privilege of nurturing others on their profound journeys.
The journey of therapy with Jen is like stepping into a magical adventure. Together, you will face life’s dragons and discover the treasures within, leaning into each twist and turn with courage and a sprinkle of enchantment.
What Therapy with Jen Feels Like
Therapy with Jen is an invitation to step into authorship of your life. This work is not about fixing you or rushing toward an outcome. It is about slowing down enough to notice how your mind interprets the world, how your body holds what you have lived through, and how the stories you carry quietly shape who you believe yourself to be.
Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and deeply human. There is room for curiosity, humor, creativity, and meaning-making. Jen walks alongside you at your pace, honoring both where you have been and where you are ready to go.
Mind, Body, and Story
Jen’s approach is holistic in a grounded, integrative sense. Together, you will explore how past experiences live in the nervous system, how identity and meaning are shaped over time, and how compassion and conscious choice can open new pathways forward.
This work blends psychological insight with nervous system awareness and personal narrative, honoring the full complexity of being human. Healing unfolds not by erasing your story, but by relating to it with more understanding, agency, and care.
Beyond the Therapy Room: A Life Well-Lived
Outside of session, Jen finds nourishment in family, travel, books, podcasts, tarot, and intentional living. She loves coffee ice cream, chai or matcha lattes, and the quiet magick of meaningful conversations in cozy cafes.
Fun fact: Jen has traveled across three continents and visited 42 states, a reflection of her deep curiosity and love of exploration.

Rising Beyond Circumstances
“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” — Maya Angelou
Jayzme (Jay) Perry (She/Her)
California Licensed Clinical Social Worker #118489
Specializing in supporting adults managing stress, change, and everyday challenges
You may be coming to therapy because life has felt heavy, unpredictable, or harder to manage than it used to be. Maybe you’ve been pushing through for a long time, doing your best to hold everything together, and something in you is ready for support that feels steady and real.
Jay believes therapy is a place to discover your strengths, not because you don’t already have them, but because they can be easier to access when you’re not doing it alone. Her work centers on helping clients navigate life’s challenges with clarity, skill, and compassion, without judgment or pressure.
What Therapy with Jay Feels Like
Therapy with Jay feels supportive, collaborative, and grounding. She partners with her clients to understand what they are facing, identify what is getting in the way, and build practical tools to move forward.

The work is steady and encouraging, with room to grow at your own pace.
A Steady, Strength-Based Approach
Jay’s approach is rooted in partnership. She believes meaningful change happens when clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to build on what is already working.
Her work focuses on helping adults develop insight, resilience, and coping strategies that can be used both inside and outside the therapy room. Therapy is not about being reduced by what has happened to you. It’s about learning how to rise beyond it.
Life Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of session, Jay values connection and joy in the everyday moments. She loves spending time with her family and close friends, creating meaningful memories and shared laughter.
She enjoys sunny days at the beach, good food, and sipping iced coffee, finding comfort in simple pleasures that bring balance and warmth.
Fun fact: Jay loves dancing, so if you catch her dancing, don’t be surprised.

The Quiet Strength Within
“The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of others, but those who battle unseen demons in silence.”
Christopher Figueroa (He/Him)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #139125
Supervised by Jennifer Hyatt, LMFT #99355
Bilingual: English & Spanish
Army Veteran | Husband | Father
EMDR Trauma Specialist
Specializing in supporting adults navigating trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges
You might be used to carrying a lot on your own. Pushing forward. Handling what needs to be handled, even when it takes more out of you than you let on. Maybe you’ve lived through experiences that changed you, and now you’re trying to make sense of how they still show up in your relationships, your work, or the way you see yourself.
Chris understands this terrain not just professionally, but personally. As a veteran, husband, and father, he brings lived experience into the therapy room with humility and respect. He knows that real strength often looks quiet, and that asking for support is not weakness. It is a turning point.
What Therapy with Chris Feels Like
Therapy with Chris is active, engaging, and grounded in real life. He partners with clients to explore how past experiences are shaping the present, and to identify practical, realistic ways to move forward.
Sessions often include honest conversation, insight, humor, and collaborative problem-solving. Chris brings warmth, creativity, and energy into the room, helping clients break through what has been holding them back and reconnect with their inner strengths.
This is not therapy that stays stuck in analysis. It’s therapy that helps you move.
Practical Healing With Depth
Chris works with clients navigating trauma, relationship challenges, career stress, parenting concerns, and the long-term impact of difficult experiences. He integrates EMDR and trauma-informed care with a strengths-based approach that focuses on growth, resilience, and purpose.
Whether you’re working to heal from the past, improve your relationships, or feel more confident in who you are, Chris helps you build a path forward that fits your life, not someone else’s expectations.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your sense of purpose, activate your potential, or simply learn how to like and accept yourself again, Chris is ready to meet you where you are.

The Courage to Create
Healing doesn’t always begin with words. Sometimes it begins with creating space for what has been quietly waiting to be felt.
Jessica Pedroza Blevins (She/Her)
California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #137891
Registered Art Therapist (ATR #21-278)
Languages: English & Spanish
Specializing in supporting teens and adults on their wellness journey (ages 14 and up)
Jessica understands how overwhelming life can feel when stress, anxiety, and self-doubt quietly take over. Many of the people she works with are capable, thoughtful, and outwardly holding it together, while internally feeling stretched thin, constantly alert, or disconnected from themselves.
You might be navigating a season of transition. You might feel like fear has slowly begun making decisions for you. Or you may sense that something needs to change, even if you don’t yet have the words for it.
Jessica offers a steady, supportive space for people who are tired of pushing through and ready to reconnect with their inner strength. She works with clients who want relief from anxiety and stress, and who also want to understand themselves more deeply and live with greater intention.
Jessica’s work is shaped by her Mexican heritage and a deep respect for culture, family, and lived experience. She understands that identity does not exist in isolation, and she holds space for the ways history, culture, and community shape how we see ourselves and move through the world.
Supporting Emotional Expression and Meaning-Making
Jessica’s work centers on helping people explore their inner world in ways that feel accessible, human, and authentic. She believes healing doesn’t have to be rushed or forced, and that creativity can open doors when words fall short.
Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, Jessica helps clients slow down, notice patterns, and develop tools they can carry beyond the therapy room. She integrates art-making thoughtfully, not as a performance or requirement, but as an option for expression, insight, and self-compassion.
Art-making is always optional and offered with care. You don’t need to consider yourself creative to benefit from this work.
Whether clients are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, or a sense of feeling stuck, Jessica supports them in reconnecting with their inner warrior and loosening fear’s grip on their lives.
Therapy for Those Ready to Slow Down and Reconnect
Jessica works well with people who:
- Feel ruled by anxiety or ongoing stress
- Are navigating life transitions or periods of change
- Feel disconnected from confidence or inner strength
- Want practical tools alongside deeper self-understanding
- Are curious about creative approaches to therapy
- Want support that feels calm, respectful, and real
Therapy with Jessica isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about learning how to relate to yourself with more understanding, trust, and care.
Approaches That Honor the Whole Person
Jessica practices as an integrative therapist, drawing from evidence-based, creative, and humanistic approaches to support each client’s goals and lived experience. Her work may include:
- Humanistic, client-centered therapy grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and respect for each person’s lived experience
- Art Therapy for emotional expression and insight beyond words
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore thought patterns and beliefs
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for coping and emotional balance
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-based living and psychological flexibility
- Mindfulness-based practices for grounding, awareness, and stress reduction
These tools are offered flexibly, never as checklists, and are tailored to support each client’s unique story.
Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of therapy, Jessica is an artist who works primarily with fiber arts and regularly attends fiber art festivals. Alongside her clinical training, she brings a formal background in studio art, and creativity remains a grounding, restorative force in her own life.
She also enjoys monsters, folklore, and the paranormal. The places where imagination, mystery, and shadow meet feel like familiar terrain.

Releasing the Hold of Negative Thoughts
“People often struggle to release their negative thoughts and behaviors, finding only temporary relief. Instead of letting go, I explored and questioned them, and in doing so, they released their hold on me.”
Britney Smith (She/Her)
Associate Clinical Social Worker #109104
Supervised by Jennifer Hyatt, LMFT #99355
Specializing in supporting teens and adults building coping skills for anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
You might be feeling scattered and overwhelmed, weighed down by stress or anxiety, or haunted by past experiences that still echo into the present. Some days it can feel like your thoughts won’t slow down, or that your emotions are one step ahead of your ability to manage them.
Britney offers a reassuring presence and a safe, supportive space to explore these experiences. Reaching out for therapy is a brave step, and you don’t have to take it alone.
Navigating the Storm of Thoughts and Emotions
Life has a way of piling things on. Work, relationships, expectations, and responsibilities can leave your mind racing and your body tense. Some days, getting out of bed feels like a monumental task. Other days, worry and self-doubt refuse to quiet down, making it hard to feel grounded or safe.
Britney believes that while this path can feel heavy, it is possible to find steadier footing. Therapy becomes a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin loosening the grip of thoughts and patterns that no longer serve you.
What Therapy with Britney Feels Like
Therapy with Britney is supportive, collaborative, and real. She creates a space where your story matters and where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.
Sessions often include:
- Thoughtful conversations about patterns, beliefs, and emotions
- Practical steps to support change and growth
- Humor to gently lighten heavy moments
- Exploration of strengths and values to foster self-trust
Her goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and more capable of navigating life as it unfolds.
A Guide on the Path to Healing
Britney works as a guide alongside you, helping you move through challenges with compassion and clarity. She supports clients in learning how to question unhelpful thought patterns, build coping skills, and reconnect with their own resilience.
Healing here isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, honesty, and learning how to meet yourself with more kindness along the way.
Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of session, Britney enjoys staying active and engaged in her community and finding ways to bring balance into everyday life. These experiences help ground her work and deepen her understanding of the real-world challenges clients face.

Illuminating the Inner Light
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
— Elizabeth Kübler Ross
Madilynne (Madi) Harbauer (They/Them)
Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #16180
Supervised by Jennifer Hyatt, LMFT #99355
Specializing in supporting tweens, teens, and adults on their wellness journey (ages 12 and up)
Madilynne (Madi) Harbauer (they/them) works with children, teens, and adults, weaving drama therapy and artistic expression into evidence-based care. Their approach recognizes that not everything meaningful can be spoken right away. Sometimes understanding arrives through movement, metaphor, imagination, or play before it ever reaches words.
At the heart of Madi’s work is a belief in egalitarian therapy. This is not a hierarchy where the therapist holds all the answers. It is a collaboration. You and Madi work as a team, exploring your inner world with curiosity, honesty, and respect for your lived experience.
Their therapeutic lens draws from humanistic approaches that honor authenticity and growth, existential work that explores meaning and choice, and feminist frameworks that recognize power, identity, and social context. These influences allow Madi to hold both depth and flexibility, making room for the complex, sometimes contradictory parts of being human.
Madi is comfortable going into the deep places with you while keeping the work grounded and accessible. Clients often describe their presence as playful yet steady, creative without being overwhelming, and compassionate without losing clarity. This is a space where exploration is welcomed and nothing about you is too much or too strange to bring into the room.
Playfulness, Depth, and Balance
In therapy with Madi, play is not about being silly for its own sake. It is a doorway. A way to explore emotions, patterns, and experiences that might feel too big, too confusing, or too tangled to approach head-on. Through creative engagement, clients often find new language for what they have been carrying and new ways to understand themselves.
At the same time, Madi brings a steady, grounding presence to the room. When things feel heavy, tender, or intense, they know how to slow the pace, hold seriousness with care, and help clients feel safe enough to stay with what matters. Sessions are shaped around you, your needs, and your nervous system, allowing for both lightness and depth to exist side by side.
This balance makes therapy with Madi feel adaptable and human. There is room to explore, to reflect, to laugh, and to sit quietly when needed. Nothing is forced. The work unfolds in a way that respects your rhythm and honors your journey.
Specializing in Neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ Communities 🏳️🌈
Madi is deeply committed to providing affirming, identity-aware care for neurodivergent individuals and LGBTQ+ clients. They understand how exhausting it can be to navigate a world that often misunderstands your needs, expressions, or way of being.
Therapy with Madi centers safety, consent, and collaboration. There is no pressure to mask, perform, or explain yourself perfectly. Your identity is not something to be fixed or managed. It is something to be understood, honored, and supported.
Madi also works with clients navigating OCD, intrusive thoughts, and rigid patterns, approaching these experiences with compassion, clarity, and respect for the nervous system. All parts of you are welcome here.
Life Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of session, Madi finds joy in the small, grounding pleasures that bring balance and creativity into daily life. They enjoy exploring new vegan eateries, playing the piano, and listening to Taylor Swift. Time spent with their chihuahua, Angel, is a favorite source of comfort and connection. Madi also loves drawing, solving puzzles, and getting lost in a good book.
Working with Madi: Insurance & Payment Options
Madi works with private pay/self-pay clients and those who wish to use their insurance. They currently accept:
🏥 Cigna / Evernorth
💙 Aetna
🔹 United Healthcare / Optum
🛡️ Anthem Blue Cross
Therapy with Madi is an invitation to reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gone quiet, hidden, or dimmed over time. You do not have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or rush toward change. You are met with curiosity, respect, and care exactly where you are. If you are looking for a space that honors both creativity and depth, where play and seriousness can coexist, and where your inner light is gently supported rather than forced into view, Madi is ready to walk alongside you as that light finds its way forward again.

Where Being Human Comes First
“You don’t have to have it all together to deserve support. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop pretending you’re fine.”
Marinna Hartwick (She/Her)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #143368
Supervised by Jennifer Hyatt, LMFT #99355
Specializing in supporting teens and adults exploring identity, emotional patterns, and personal growth
You’ve been holding it together for a long time. High expectations. Always showing up. Always doing what’s needed. From the outside, it might look like you’ve got it all figured out. Inside, the pressure is loud. The self-doubt even louder. Some days, it feels like you’re unraveling in ways no one can see.
Who Marinna Works With
Marinna works with people who are thoughtful, sensitive, and often carrying more than they let on, including:
- Teens navigating the messy, overwhelming terrain of growing up
- Women stretched thin by the invisible weight of expectations
- Perfectionists who appear composed while feeling anything but
- Sensitive, insightful people of all genders ready to get honest with themselves
- Those in seasons of reflection who sense something deeper is calling
She offers a grounded, compassionate presence and a space where masks can come off and your real self gets to take up room.
What Therapy with Marinna Feels Like
Marinna’s approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. She practices from a humanistic framework, meaning she sees you as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a problem to fix. Healing, in her view, happens through connection, compassion, and honoring your lived experience.
Together, you’ll explore what’s weighing on you, not just to manage stress, but to understand where it comes from and how to loosen its grip. This work is about noticing patterns, gently challenging what no longer serves you, and building something steadier underneath it all: trust in yourself, clarity in your choices, and the ability to take up space without apology.
Approach and Tools
Marinna integrates evidence-based practices thoughtfully and only when they support your story. Tools such as DBT skills may be woven in to support emotional regulation, boundaries, and coping, but never at the expense of the human experience.
You are not a checklist. You are a full story in motion.
A Guide on the Path to Healing
Think of Marinna as someone walking alongside you, helping you make sense of the parts of yourself that have felt scattered, silenced, or stretched thin. She supports you in untangling what’s been heavy and building something softer, stronger, and more true.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep going, this space is for you. You don’t have to earn it. You just have to show up.
Outside the Therapy Room
When she’s not in session, Marinna is often seeking quiet. You might find her on a trail, camping under the stars, or unwinding near the ocean. She’s a pop-song-in-the-car singer, a LEGO builder, a movie rater, and a devoted dog companion. If emotional regulation could be built out of plastic bricks, she would already be halfway there.
Insurance & Payment Options
Marinna works with private pay/self-pay clients and those who wish to use their insurance. She currently accepts:
🏥 Cigna / Evernorth
💙 Aetna
🔹 United Healthcare / Optum
🛡️ Anthem Blue Cross
Marinna is honored to walk beside her clients as they reclaim their voice, reconnect with their truth, and find new ways forward. She welcomes each story with warmth, wit, and wholehearted

A Steady Guide Through Life’s Storms
“You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to deserve support. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for help before you break.”
Melissa Rae Patton (She/Her)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker #125360
Specializing in care for tweens, teens, and adults (ages 12+), offering support for individuals, couples, and families
You’ve been strong for a long time. Showing up. Doing what’s expected. Holding the emotional weight of others while quietly setting your own needs aside. Maybe no one sees how heavy it’s been. Maybe functioning so well has made it easy to forget that your needs matter too.
But something brought you here.
It might be the exhaustion that won’t lift. The stress that won’t quiet down. Emotions that surface unexpectedly. Or the persistent sense that something feels off, even if nothing looks “wrong” from the outside. Maybe part of you is simply ready for something to shift, even if you’re not sure where to begin.
Melissa helps clients move from survival mode into something more sustainable. Her work is grounded, practical, and deeply compassionate, offering clarity and calm to those who have been carrying too much for too long.
Getting to the Root of What’s Holding You Back
Melissa works with individuals, couples, and families who are tired of holding it all together. Many of her clients are the ones others rely on: capable, dependable, outwardly composed. Inside, they may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to tend to themselves without guilt.
Her approach helps clients reconnect with their emotions, reclaim their voice, and explore what it means to care for themselves in ways that are sustainable rather than self-sacrificing.
Whether you’re navigating grief, parenting stress, a major life transition, or the quiet burnout that comes from always being the strong one, Melissa offers a steady presence and a space to define what healing looks like for you.
Therapy That Makes Space for You
Therapy with Melissa is a place to slow down, breathe, and begin again. Clients often come in feeling overwhelmed by constant pressure, emotionally numb or flooded, or caught in the chaos of stress, relationships, identity, or transition.
Together, you’ll get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface and reconnect with what matters most. You don’t have to carry everything alone anymore.
Practical Tools, Human Pace
Melissa integrates evidence-based approaches with flexibility and care. Sessions may draw from:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thought patterns
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation and healthy boundaries
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to reconnect with values and agency
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) to work with ambivalence and stuckness
- Play and sand tray therapy for children, teens, and expressive adults who process beyond words
This is not about quick fixes. Melissa helps clients build tools that carry into daily life and reconnect with parts of themselves that may have gone quiet along the way.
Working with Melissa: Insurance & Payment Options
Melissa works with private pay/self-pay clients as well as those using insurance. She currently accepts:
🏥 Cigna / Evernorth

🔹 United Healthcare / Optum

You do not have to fall apart to deserve care. Therapy with Melissa offers a steady, grounded space where you can be seen, supported, and prioritized, often for the first time in a long while.

A Space for Authentic Connection
“You don’t have to be anyone else to heal. The work begins when you show up as you are.”
Rebeckah (Becky) Liu (She/Her)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #159023
Supervised by Jennifer Hyatt, LMFT #99355
Supporting individuals and relationships through life’s many seasons, including LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, perinatal, and polyamorous communities.
Becky knows what it’s like to move through systems that were never built with you in mind. As a therapist who identifies as AuDHD, she brings both clinical training and lived experience into the room, offering care that is grounded, affirming, and deeply human.
Many of the people Becky works with are exhausted from managing expectations, holding everything together, and quieting their own needs to keep the peace. Over time, that constant effort can leave them feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure where they belong.
Becky offers a space where curiosity replaces judgment and authenticity becomes the goal, not perfection. Healing here does not mean changing who you are. It means remembering yourself beneath the layers of adaptation and learning how to live and relate in ways that feel more honest and sustainable.
Her approach is relational and affirming. Whether she is working with couples rebuilding connection, individuals exploring identity and neurodivergence, or LGBTQIA+ clients seeking a space where they can exhale, Becky helps people reconnect with their voice and their sense of belonging.
Supporting Relationships, Healing Stories
In couples and relationship work, Becky focuses on understanding rather than blame. She helps partners slow down reactivity, notice their patterns with compassion, and learn new ways to communicate and repair. She works with all relationship structures, including monogamous, polyamorous, and nontraditional partnerships.
For individuals, Becky offers collaborative therapy that honors the whole person: mind, body, identity, and context. Her work is trauma-responsive and empowerment-based, integrating emotion-focused care, strength-based insight, and deep respect for cultural, relational, and neurodivergent identities.
Clients often describe Becky’s sessions as spaces where they can finally exhale. Where tears and laughter coexist. Where being real feels safer than performing.
Therapy for the Brave and the Tender
Becky works especially well with people who:
- Feel overstimulated, disconnected, or misunderstood in relationships or social spaces
- Are exploring neurodivergence or newly discovered identities
- Want to strengthen emotional connection in partnerships or families
- Are moving through perinatal, postpartum, or reproductive transitions
- Are learning to balance care for others with care for themselves
Therapy with Becky is not about fixing who you are. It is about finding gentler, truer ways to live in your skin and build relationships that feel like home.
Approaches That Honor the Whole Self
Becky integrates a blend of evidence-based and depth-oriented approaches, including:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for attachment and connection
- Narrative and Feminist frameworks for identity, meaning, and empowerment
- Trauma-informed and culturally responsive care
- Psychodynamic and strength-based approaches for insight and growth
- Actively pursuing EMDR for trauma processing and nervous system regulation
Sessions feel like thoughtful conversations, part reflection and part discovery, where humor, honesty, and humanity are always welcome.
Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of session, Becky describes herself as a weirdo at heart. She finds joy in K-dramas, K-pop, Marvel stories, and all things witchy and spiritual. Her lived experience navigating motherhood and life’s unexpected turns informs the warmth, steadiness, and compassion she brings into the room.
She carries a gentle rebellion against the idea that healing must look a certain way, and invites clients to do the same.
Working with Becky: Insurance & Payment Options
Becky works with private pay/self-pay clients as well as those using insurance. She currently accepts:
🏥 Cigna / Evernorth

🔹 United Healthcare / Optum

You do not have to collapse to deserve care. Therapy with Becky offers a grounded, affirming space where you can be met exactly as you are and supported as you grow into what comes next.

A Space for Coming Home to Yourself
When you reconnect with your truth, your life begins to align in ways your fear once told you were impossible.
Kim O’Neill (She/Her)
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #158292
Supervised by Jennifer Hyatt, LMFT #99355
Reiki Master
Supporting individuals, relationships, and families as they reclaim identity, rebuild emotional connection, and rediscover their inner wisdom.
Kim understands what it feels like to move through life appearing strong while quietly carrying storms on the inside. You may be the one who holds everything together for others. You may push through your days with a practiced smile or a hyper-independent streak that makes it difficult to ask for help. Perhaps you have learned to keep your emotions neatly tucked away, even as your body holds the tension of everything left unsaid.
Many of Kim’s clients come in exhausted from perfectionism, overthinking, spiritual disconnection, or years of feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotional well-being. Anxiety often shows up in the body as tightness, constant second-guessing, stomach knots, or the sense that you must stay alert just to feel safe. Others are healing wounds shaped by emotional absence, heartbreak, misattunement, or early roles that taught them to shrink their needs. Some feel everything intensely and struggle to manage others’ energy. Others feel disconnected from their emotional world and aren’t sure how to access it again.
Kim offers a space where those walls can soften. Where your inner world can be heard without judgment. Where you do not have to carry the weight alone.
Her presence is intuitive, grounding, and deeply human. She blends clinical insight with energetic awareness, helping clients tune into their body, emotions, and spirit in ways that feel accessible and empowering.
Healing Identity, Relationships, and Emotional Patterns
Kim supports individuals and families who want to feel more connected, more grounded, and more aligned with who they truly are.
In relational and premarital work, she helps partners slow reactivity, understand attachment patterns, and communicate without slipping into defensiveness or emotional distance. She works with partners who want to bridge emotional gaps, repair old wounds, reconnect spiritually, or find balance within relational dynamics.
For individuals, Kim specializes in identity healing, emotional expression, spirituality, and the internal reparenting work that allows people to feel whole again. Her intuitive style resonates deeply with empaths, highly sensitive people, and those who carry others’ needs before their own. She also works well with first responders, military members, and helping professionals who learned to survive by compartmentalizing emotions they now want to understand and integrate.
Sessions with Kim often feel like a steady exhale. A place where truth rises gently and where clients feel both supported and encouraged to grow.
Therapy for Those Learning to Feel Safe in Their Own Being
Kim works especially well with people who:
- Feel disconnected from their emotions, intuition, or identity
- Are healing from heartbreak, relational rupture, or emotional abandonment
- Are exploring spirituality, purpose, or deeper meaning
- Absorb others’ energy or struggle to stay grounded
- Carry perfectionism, people-pleasing, or hyper-independence
- Want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, or reconnect within relationships
- Long to rediscover who they are beneath fear, expectations, and old stories
Therapy with Kim is an invitation to move from survival into alignment. From shoulds into truth. From emotional disconnection into embodied clarity.
Approaches That Honor Mind, Body, and Spirit
Kim draws from a holistic, integrative approach that reflects both her clinical training and intuitive gifts. Her work may include:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for attachment and relational healing

Kim meets clients human to human, without pathologizing their experience. She believes your emotions are relevant, your story holds wisdom, and healing unfolds best from the inside out.
Outside the Therapy Room
Kim is purpose-driven and deeply values creativity, connection, and soulful exploration. She enjoys crochet, singing, podcasting, therapeutic tarot, adventure, and conversations that go beneath the surface. Her background as a crime analyst and her years as a youth mentor and confidence coach bring a unique blend of intuition, insight, and grounded presence into her work.
She believes we are spiritual beings having a human experience, that there is room for everyone here, and that when one person shines more fully, the world becomes brighter.
Her work is rooted in one unwavering truth:
It’s not too late. You’re not broken, and you’re not too much. There is capacity in you, and there is possibility, and you deserve a life that feels like your own again.
