I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides therapy in both Spanish and English, from colloquial to professional levels. My work has included supporting individuals facing HIV/AIDS-related challenges, domestic violence, substance use, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnosis, sexuality-related concerns, aging-related issues, and the broader impact these experiences can have on families and support systems. Across community, academic, and clinical settings in Mexico and the U.S., I’ve built a strong foundation in helping people navigate both personal suffering and societal distress.

I'm Tabitha — a licensed therapist, former competitive athlete, and a mom who has lived through many of the transitions my clients face. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, major life changes, maternal mental health challenges, and the kind of stress that builds quietly until it isn't quiet anymore.

What makes my approach different is that I don't just help you understand your patterns — I help you actually change them. Using CBT, strengths-based work, and creative tools, I tailor each session to what's genuinely useful for you. Therapy with me feels more like a focused, honest conversation with someone in your corner than a clinical process.

I've worked with athletes who've lost their identity after injury, new mothers in the fog of postpartum, women rebuilding after divorce or loss, and high-achievers who've hit a wall they can't push through alone. If any of that sounds like where you are — you're in the right place.

You've done meaningful therapeutic work and you're ready to go deeper. You're successful in the external markers of your life, but you know there's more—greater depth, connection, and purpose waiting for you. You've addressed foundational trauma, and now you want to explore subtler patterns: how you hold back in intimacy, the meanings you're searching for, the fuller expression of yourself you sense is possible. You may be curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy as a tool for profound insight. You're not dealing with crisis, but are looking for a guide who can support you in moving from survival to fully living in your wholeness.

Therapist

Welcome! I am currently accepting client and I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and young adults, providing affirming care through a solution‐focused and client‐centered approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, supporting effective and meaningful change. I also incorporate Narrative Therapy and Trauma‐Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address trauma and promote healing when appropriate.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you are navigating the challenges you are facing. Many of my clients come to therapy wanting a space where they feel safe, accepted, and truly understood. I strive to provide this so we can work collaboratively to move toward greater clarity, resilience, and well‐being.

Hi, my name is Rae and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I work under the belief that big emotions and big reactions are not a sign that something is “wrong” with you, but rather are healthy signals seeking respect and attention to guide you toward your true self. However, many of us have heard or come to believe that we're "too much" throughout our lives—too emotional, too challenging, too overwhelming, or too far gone to deserve the things, relationships, and lives we long for. This messaging can lead to difficulties setting boundaries, fear of independence, or choosing isolation to avoid feelings of shame and disappointment when our needs go unmet.
