Hi, I’m Rachel. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life’s unexpected transitions. Many of the people I work with are adjusting to difficult life changes, searching for a renewed sense of purpose, or feeling anxious about speaking up, being around others, or even leaving the house. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll build practical tools, celebrate progress along the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and like your own again.
We all struggle at times with feelings of unresolved hurt, anxiety, depression, and anger. These feelings can rob us of the joy we might normally experience in our selves and our relationships. It is never easy to admit to having personal issues or to examine our past experiences. We all want to be heard and know that someone is listening to us. We want to have confidence in our relationships that they are healthy, loving and dependable. Sometimes these questions are more fundamental. What are we doing with our lives? We all want to be whole, confident in who we are and in our relationships. We want to be our best selves.
It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m a psychologist who believes therapy should be a safe space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, so I strive to create a warm, collaborative environment where you can show up as you are. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, feeling stuck, or hoping to better understand yourself and your relationships, we can work together toward meaningful and sustainable change. Whatever your circumstances, balancing your own needs while caring for others—including the people you love most—can be difficult. Therapy can be a place where there is room for you, too.

Hi, my name is Theresa and I have devoted 11+ years of experience to helping individuals and families navigate life’s emotional challenges with compassion and authenticity. Grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience, I bring genuine empathy and understanding to my therapeutic work.
Welcome! My name is Ebony Harris, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of California and Nevada. As a therapist, it is a privilege to walk alongside my clients on their unique journey to overcome barriers that are preventing them from living their full potential. I am passionate about empowering my clients to heal and live authentically. I am trained in EMDR, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). "One chapter doesn't tell the full story Let's continue writing your story!"
I'm not just your therapist, I'm a mama who has been in the trenches too. After navigating my own postpartum experience and the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, I found my purpose: walking alongside mothers and families during some of life's most tender and transforming moments. Raising my amazing autistic son has also deepened my understanding of what it means to parent with love, resilience, and a whole lot of grace.
I believe healing happens when you feel truly seen, not judged, not rushed, just held. My approach is rooted in authenticity and compassion, creating a space where your full story is welcome. Whether you are struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, grief, or the emotional weight of a special needs diagnosis, you do not have to carry it alone.
This work is personal to me. And that's exactly why I show up the way I do.
