Hi, I am Kristen. I specialize in Mood disorders, ADHD, Substance use, and personality disorders. I like to look at the therapist and client relationship as a partnership where we both are rowing the boat instead of one person giving directions while the other one is doing all the work. Fun fact about me is I have two dogs who often will make an appearance in my therapy sessions named Winnie and Bear.

My pronouns are she/her/hers. No matter if it's change for the better or a challenge we never imagined having to face, it can throw everything in life out of balance. If you're here, it's because you know there's more to life than the way you feel today. You're beyond the point of just surviving day-to-day, and you're ready to tap into your purpose, turning these life changes into something you can feel in control of and ultimately grow from. I specialize in coming alongside people as they walk through the uncomfortable, messy parts of life. I bring a no-nonsense, solution-oriented approach to therapy, helping you come to a place of contentment with life as it is, not as you wish it was (or even as you deserve it to be). Because true peace comes when we come to a place of acceptance: no longer relying on external factors as the source of our happiness. ​Therapy with me is a little different than what you may have encountered in the past. A lot of mental health work these days is very "feel good", leading many to believe that being mentally well is simply being happy or un-phased by the circumstances around them. I believe you're allowed to be angry or anxious or upset when life gets messy. Therapy is simply about equipping you to process and cope with those very real emotions in a productive, healthy way.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in this field for over 20 years. I have worked with children and families, adolescents, groups, and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, stress, life changes, self-esteem issues, and an array of mental, emotional and relational concerns. My therapeutic approach comes mainly from Jungian Psychology and somatic experience, although I am also eclectic and borrow from other approaches depending on the client's unique needs. I offer a safe, warm, and compassionate approach in my work with individuals. I will meet you where you are, and support you as you transform not only externally but most importantly internally. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have and/or to determine if we are a good fit.

“A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant.” – Chaim Potok, The Chosen “Every time we ask a question, we’re generating a possible version of a life.” – David Epston  Hi! I’m Jaime, and I’m honored to make your acquaintance. I am currently a graduate student in the Master of Arts Marriage and Family Therapy Program at National University. I am working under the supervision of Rosa Montoya, LMFT#115495. I have experience working with school-aged children in academic settings as an instructional assistant for special education. Additionally, as an MFT trainee, I have had the privilege of collaborating with children and teens who have experienced bullying and abuse to explore preferred identities. I also have a variety of lived experiences that have expanded my ability to question my assumptions, listen empathetically, and be curious. My life has been one in search for meaning. When I was younger, I thought that meaning came from the answers to life’s difficult questions like “What does my suffering say about me?”, “Who am I?”, and “How do I make a difference?” – and I searched for answers in many contexts, including spirituality, creative writing, art, music, and literature. My personal search for meaning and answers led me to volunteer for disaster relief in the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami; while I was in Japan, I encountered what it was like to live in another culture and respect and value other ways of being. Since that experience, I have found that questions – not answers – hold a universe of possibilities and allow meaning to grow, change, and become with me. As a narrative therapist-in-training, I am passionate about exploring with you all the rich possibilities of becoming. I see life as a journey whose paths, detours, fellow travelers, luggage, and destinations are yours to choose, define, and relate to in ways that reflect your values and the meaning you wish to create. I hope to collaborate with you in questioning constrained descriptions of life to create more space for you to reauthor, explore, and discover new possibilities of being and becoming. It would be my honor to join with you in elevating and privileging your voice, experiences, knowledge, preferred meaning, and values in our conversations together. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I look forward to joining with you on your journey!
