Hello! Are you overwhelmed, stressed out, angry, or maybe in a funk and not sure why? You are not alone! I work with many teens and young adults in the same boat and am excited to work with you to get yourself back on track and feeling good. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and Certified Case Manager with over 20 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings with a focus on the teen population since 2001 such as wilderness therapy programs, high schools/boarding schools and rehabilitation/psychiatric hospitals.
I enjoy helping teens and young adults up to 30-ish years of age find their own path and believe that everyone has many answers within themselves. Sometimes these answers are hard to find when life gets in the way. With some self reflection, new awareness and processing it's exciting to see how things can begin to change with some new perspective and development of new stories we tell ourselves. As a result of this work, our lives moving forward can be elevated and begin to move in the right direction. I am honored to help clients in their journey to find peace, inspiration and motivation to be the best they can be!

I work collaboratively to explore patterns that may leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or life transitions, therapy can offer space to gain insight and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with those who overthink, worry, people-please, struggle with boundaries, or put others’ needs first. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns, develop a stronger sense of self, and build practical coping skills. I offer an open, nonjudgmental space to explore these topics with compassion and a sense of humor.
Born in Vietnam and raised in the United States, my career has spanned work as a classroom teacher, registered financial advisor, technical and relational manager, and EAP counselor for Fortune 500 companies.

I believe everyone needs help from time to time.
I specialize in evening and weekend appointments. Later appointments are available, please request your needs.

I believe healing happens in the context of safe and supportive relationships. At Hope Restored Counseling, my goal is to walk alongside you with compassion and understanding as you work through life’s challenges. Whether you’re working through relationship struggles, stress, or personal growth, I provide a nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard. My clients often share that they feel encouraged, cared for, and empowered in our work together. I want you to know that you don’t have to do this alone—there is hope, and I’m here to help you restore it.
Hi, I'm Aviva, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life can become difficult when stress, burnout, relationship problems, body image concerns, or past experiences begin to affect your daily life. Sometimes people seek therapy because they are exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. I believe in working together to create solutions that will give a different perspective or a way to break patterns that no longer work for them. I have experience with patterns that no longer suit you and have learned methods to work through them.
As a therapist working with both children and adults with 5 years experience, my clinical approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for healing and growth. I strive to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences. Many individuals come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma, stress, or life transitions, and my role is to walk alongside them as they develop insight, resilience, and practical coping skills.
******Our office will reach out to schedule an appointment with you once you request a consultation. We provide appointments and not consults with providers.
