Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxious, addicted, depressed people make decisions in life based on their feelings and they get worse, spiraling downward in emotional chaos and relational isolation.

Marriage and Family Therapist, ATR, LMFT
Every person has the potential and inner knowledge to overcome hardship. It is my passion to help others create connections that facilitate that ability to heal. I provide a safe holding space where people can explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest. Life is going to present challenges, there is no getting around that. What we do now and how we move forward is what matters. I welcome you to come explore your negative beliefs and strengthen new positive adaptive beliefs that allow you to thrive in your daily life.

KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I regard psychotherapy as a sacred practice, a place of ongoing devotion. Each session becomes a ritual space where creativity, playfulness, and curiosity are welcomed in the exploration of the psyche. By staying present and returning again and again to openness, the unknown can be transformed into meaning. This process often carries us into the work of intergenerational healing, allowing energy to return as we reconnect with our roots and uncover our truest selves.
In my work with couples, I bring the same relational lens that shapes my individual sessions. A relationship already exists in the room, and I enter into that field with care, gradually weaving myself into its trust. Relational therapy, for me, means working with what is alive in the “here and now,” while also tracing those patterns back to their origins in the “there and then.” Humor and warmth remain vital companions in this work, helping clients stay resourced as we navigate difficult terrain together.
My path as a therapist has been shaped by a commitment to both social and spiritual liberation. My training in Integral Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies grounded me in depth psychology, while my years in community mental health equipped me with cultural humility, liberation psychology, and healing justice frameworks. Earlier work as a birth worker continues to inform my perspective, reminding me that therapy often mirrors the process of bringing something new into being.
I believe every person deserves to rediscover belonging — within themselves, within their bodies, and within the larger web of community and world. In our sessions, you will be supported in recovering what has been lost and discovering what longs to emerge. Our work will unfold at the pace of safety and trust, always guided by trauma-informed care. When you are ready, I will invite you into deeper attunement with your body and its messages, so you may listen more fully to its wisdom. It is my honor to accompany clients in this healing journey.

Ryan Muldoon
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I provide immediate and feasible solutions, as well as a safe space to let it all out and explore the root of your challenges. I won't sit in silence and occasionally ask "what do YOU think you should do?". Let’s tackle your stuff together and get you moving in your desired direction.
In addition to my extensive experience working with teens and adults, my 10+ years in the entertainment industry equips me with personal insight to help those in the creative community. You can reauthor your story, and it can start like this: You are not the problem, the problem is the problem.

Erin Powers
Counselor/Therapist, APCC 9590
I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide you with resources to utilize in your everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".

Abigail (Abi) Zarate Ramsay
Pre-Licensed Professional, Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee, Professional Clinical Counselor Trainee
I became a therapist because I believe that healing happens in relationships where we feel truly seen, heard, and honored in our full complexity. As a first generation Filipino American woman, I know what it is like to navigate the tensions between culture, family expectations, and your own emerging sense of self. I am particularly drawn to working with people who carry a lot quietly: caregivers, chronic illness warriors, neurodivergent folks, and those living with the impact of generational and systemic trauma. I see therapy as a place where you can set down some of that weight, even briefly, and explore who you are beyond survival mode. My approach is person-centered, which means I center your voice, your pace, and your values, and I bring in tools and frameworks that support your goals rather than asking you to fit into a rigid model. My hope is that therapy with me feels like a steady, grounded relationship where you can be honest about the hardest parts, celebrate the small shifts, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others. I feel honored every time someone allows me into their story, and I hold that trust with great care.
