Alex Galvez
MFT Trainee
Have you ever felt like you were not enough? Not enough for your family, partner, friends, work/school, or even yourself? Therapy can be a safe space where these feelings of “enough” can be explored without judgement. Understanding where these feelings come from and learning how to see yourself with more compassion. You do not need to have it all figured out alone.

Brooke Van Doren
MFT, PCC
Have you ever felt like what you needed to process was stuck so deep you feared you'd never get past it? You're not broken — your body is just doing what it learned to do to keep you safe.
Here we dig up the pain we try to avoid and get curious about the hard-to-feel emotions that scare the hell out of us. Anxiety, relationship pain, the weight of past experiences — we go there together, gently.
Embrace your messy. Healing doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful.

Cornise Seawood
Psy.D Clinical Psychology Trainee
You can be strong and capable and still have things that are hard to carry. Life is like that sometimes. It can be messy and unpredictable. Sometimes the things that matter most to us are also the hardest things to talk about: family, relationships, trauma, identity, spirituality, self-care. You know… the parts of ourselves we are still trying to understand. I want therapy to be a place where none of that has to be edited or left outside the room. Bring your whole self unapologetically. We can start exactly where you are and work through this together.

Gema Maldonado
Marriage & Family Therapist Trainee
I work with individuals from the general population, supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My approach is integrative, drawing from solution-focused, psychodynamic, and person-centered therapies to help clients gain insight and build on their existing strengths. I strive to empower clients to look within, reconnect with their inner resources, and move toward meaningful change.

Guadalupe Torres
Marriage & Family Therapist Trainee
Starting therapy is a brave step, and as an MFT Trainee, it’s an honor to walk alongside you. This space is entirely yours—whether you need to cry and process or want a focused space to navigate anxiety and depression. I provide an LGBTQIA+ affirming and feminist environment that is always safe, welcoming, and moves at your own pace.

Karla Silva
Marriage Family Therapist Trainee
Many of us were never taught how to understand or regulate our emotions, yet those emotions shape our relationships and the way we move through life. I enjoy helping clients build self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop healthier patterns in their relationships.
