Greetings! I'm Chera, and I have focused the scope of my private practice on very specialized (and desperately underserved) groups at high risk of suicidality within our community. Since 2016 I‘ve been helping our veterans/military with PsychArmor training, later realizing no one had the backs of our law enforcement. For this reason, I earned my certification as a first responder counselor and peer support team leader/trainer to provide crisis, cumulative trauma, and emotional agility training for our first responders.

I have had the privilege of witnessing people undergo the slow, extremely subtle and remarkable journey of healing and self-transformation. This process of psychological growth is astoundingly complex, multilayered, circular and even mysteriously numinous in its unfolding. My philosophy as a therapist is primarily on core transformation rather than merely symptom management and needless to say, I strongly believe in the centrality of the therapeutic relationship as a significant healing agent. Moving towards our wholeness necessitates the courage to first move into the wounded parts that we all have as members of the human species.

We all deserve safety in our connection to others, the world and ourselves. As a third-culture psychologist, my empathy well runs deep.

Hi and welcome! I’m glad you stopped by to learn a little bit more about my practice. The majority of client’s I work with are individuals who struggle with high levels of anxiety perfectionism and relationship challenges. I commonly hear things like I can’t stop thinking about this thing(s) it distracts me at work and keeps me up at night. Some experience a lot of fear and worry around socializing being in public and other things that cause high distress. Many describe coming to a place where anxiety controlled how they showed up in life including their relationship with themselves and others. Anxiety is common so you're not alone!

Hello, I'm Quinne. I have been in the Social Work field since 2006, and have focused most of my career in behavioral health and public health. I often spend a lot of time working with folx around healthy relationships, attachment, trauma healing, the complexities of identity, and I work from an anti-oppressive practice lens. I often bring considerations of intersectionality and privilege into the room. I identify as Queer and Biracial myself, and often support folx in these realms. I like to have a consultation with folx to see if we are a good fit, and think it's important for folx to find the therapist that is right for them.

I help people transform themselves. If you are tired of being stuck and want to live the life you desire, I'm your guy. I work best with people who are ready to do the work, who are open to the exploration of Self and healing. If you are here exploring psychotherapy options then that means you! I work with people that are both looking to heal, or those that are feeling pretty good but want to level up (however what is nice is that both often end up occurring). I work with mostly adult men and women and do see some teens if they are older or emotionally mature. I also offer Men's groups in addition to individual psychotherapy.

I believe that every person has the ability to heal and lead satisfying and fulfilling lives. Everyone does the best with what they have and when life presents significant challenges our reactions and behaviors often make sense in context. Problems do not exist within one person but are the result of a person’s family or relational systems, circular patterns, external systems, and learned behaviors that once had a functional purpose. I consider health to be the culmination of mental, physical, spiritual, and relational states, and I will work from this inclusive and holistic perspective.

Often genetics, childhood and adult trauma, stressful relationships, insomnia, diet, and general self-care can be contributing factors. Talking with a licensed psychologist can help you with such dilemmas and gain a new perspective on life. My goal is to help explore new ways to handle such roadblocks and to live a full and enjoyable life.
