Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I believe that therapy is most powerful when it feels human, collaborative, and grounded in real life. My work is guided by a deep respect for the complexity of people’s experiences and the relationships that shape us. I am especially passionate about supporting adults and parents as they navigate stress, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges that often come with family life.
With a background in both education and psychotherapy, I bring a developmental and neuroscience-informed lens to my work, helping clients better understand their emotional patterns and nervous system responses. My goal is to create a space where people feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered to move toward greater clarity, connection, and resilience.

I'm a fellow ADHDer and have extensive training in all things neurodivergence including RSD, PDA, burnout, executive functioning skills and common co-occuring medical issues.

Tracey Kiernan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be finding that things that used to feel manageable no longer do. You’re overthinking more, feeling anxious or on edge, or noticing you’re either reacting quickly or shutting down altogether. You might feel disconnected from yourself, unsure why you feel “off,” or frustrated that you can’t seem to get back to how you used to be. In your relationship, you may be having the same conversations on repeat, feeling unheard, or struggling to stay connected despite your efforts. For many, this is happening alongside a major life shift—like perimenopause, burnout, or changes in identity—that’s hard to fully put into words but deeply felt.
I specialize in working with women and couples navigating high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, and life transitions, including perimenopause. These experiences can impact not only your sense of self, but also how you show up in your relationships, often leading to repeated conflict, emotional distance, or difficulty communicating in a way that actually feels productive.
My approach to therapy is both compassionate and focused. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, psychodynamic, Gestalt, somatic, and Gottman-informed couples therapy. We begin by helping you feel more grounded and regulated, so you’re not just talking about your experiences, but are able to work with them in a meaningful way. From there, we explore the underlying patterns driving what you’re experiencing and focus on creating lasting, practical change.
Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and tailored to you. The goal is not just insight, but helping you feel more like yourself again—clearer, more connected, and better able to navigate your life and relationships.

Karina Larios
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I work with adults who are interested in stepping out of old patterns and meeting themselves with honesty and care. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, trauma, panic attacks, identity shifts, , or anxiety, therapy can provide a space to deeply explore what you’re feeling and why — while considering both your personal history and the systems that have shaped you.

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I became a therapist because I believe that each of one of us can live more fully and with more happiness and depth. It takes work and a positive connection with someone who cares and reminds you of what your inner voice is telling you. “We’re in this together,” is something I truly live by as a therapist. Hold on, the ride might get a little bumpy, but it will be so worth the effort!
