Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
Hi, I’m Jasmine.
Maybe you’ve become so good at holding everything together that you hardly notice how much you’re carrying anymore. You may be someone others experience as dependable, thoughtful, and capable, while underneath, you’re managing anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or the pressure of trying to keep everything going.
You might find yourself overthinking decisions, putting pressure on yourself to get things right, worrying about disappointing people, or realizing that you’re much better at recognizing what everyone else needs than knowing what you need yourself. Even when you understand some of these patterns, it can be difficult to step outside of them when they’ve become such familiar ways of moving through the world.
I work with adults who are used to carrying a lot and are beginning to recognize that they don’t want to keep doing it in the same way. My approach is warm, collaborative, somatic, and depth-oriented, which means we’ll make space for what’s happening in your life while also getting curious about the patterns underneath it and what you notice in your body, emotions, and relationships.
Together, we can slow things down enough for you to become more familiar with what you feel, need, and want, while building greater trust in yourself and more choice in how you respond when familiar patterns show up.

Marysa Garcia
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified Financial Social Worker
Hi, I'm Marysa. My approach to therapy is this: you are the expert on you. Our work together will be a grounding space for self-reflection, where we uncover your inner strength to cultivate hope and forge a path forward. Therapy is your process. I will always invite you to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable, going at a pace that feels right for you. As your therapist, I will support you in understanding the way stress and trauma show up in both the mind and the body so that your healing can be something you feel in your bones.

Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
I bring into my practice 17 years of experience working with trauma and relationships. I work with people who have been deeply wounded and hurt in relationships. They often appear in the world as unsure about their worth and value. They are not sure that they can trust and rely on others. They might panic if people pull away too quickly or not allow themselves to get close from the start. They want to trust their gut more and feel a greater sense of security in their relationships. They want to be able to extend greater compassion and kindness towards themselves. My practice is a secure base from which we could explore all of the above and more. Current/past clients and colleagues have shared that I am collaborative, curious and calming. My aim is to slow things down to the pace where you can allow what is needed for you to emerge, to notice what you're wanting and to step more confidently out into the world.

Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You don't have to continue pretending you are perfectly fine. Whether you are an eldest daughter, only daughter, or mom, you may have learned early on to take on more responsibility in relationships. Deep down, you know it takes much self-talk to be present, to set boundaries, you find it difficult to answer phone calls because you are afraid, and you desperately want help, but don't know how to ask.
Carrying heavy family expectations, chronic guilt, and the pressure to be perfect takes a heavy physical and emotional toll. If you're exhausted from self-neglect and feel like your own needs are too much, no estas sola.
I'm Kenia an LMFT with 9 years of experience helping high achieving, first gen women heal from childhood trauma and break the cycle of survival patterns.
Working together we use somatic therapy to release stored survival tension and nervous system stress. Explore complex family dynamics without losing yourself. Rebuild self-trust, repair confidence, and feel secure in who you are.
My approach is grounding, nurturing and empowering. Ready to take the first step? Call me or text me to book your free 15 minute consultation.

Haley Rupe-Salazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, AMFT
I have had a long-standing passion for psychology, which started in childhood. I have experienced challenges from early age including my parents' divorce, loss of family members and generational trauma coupled with my own journey through mental health, confidence and self-esteem. I have a passion to help people and understand the challenges and uncertainty life brings. I understand how important it is to provide compassion and understanding when processing life challenges. There are times when we believe that our past defines us, labels or that change is not possible. Currently, I work with children, teens, young adults and adults to identify their struggles and hurts and help them find out who they are, where that comes from and replace them with truths.

Esther Park
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
I believe children, teens, and adults need space to be understood not only in what they say, but also in how they play, create, and experience the world around them. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in Psychodynamic and Gestalt therapies. In simpler terms, I care about identifying root emotions and experiences as well as your unique experience in the room as we meet. My goal is to create a space where clients can feel safe enough to be their authentic selves, knowing they do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I believe that building trust, safety, and good rapport takes time and continues to matter throughout the therapeutic process—not just during the first few sessions.

Sean Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I do therapy for men and for couples. If you've never been in therapy before, or therapy hasn't worked well for you in the past, you've come to the right place! Since the beginning of my training, I've worked almost exclusively with men and couples on the brink of disaster. My success with clients comes from taking a direct, goal-oriented approach to therapy that will enable us to move quickly and overcome those obstacles that have you feeling 'stuck'. My number one goal is to get you out of therapy as soon as we can.
