Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
New Birth Family Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD
Are you carrying the heavy load of trauma, feeling like an imposter in your own body? It's challenging to navigate daily life when the weight of past experiences looms over you. Your relationship may be strained because your partner doesn't understand what's wrong, and you find yourself trapped in constant ruminating thoughts, losing sight of your purpose.
Imagine a life where you've lifted that burden, and trauma becomes a distant memory that no longer weighs you down. Picture yourself out, enjoying life with friends and your partner, your bond stronger than ever. You've rediscovered your spirit and purpose.
I specialize in trauma healing by using EMDR, CPT, and Brain Spotting. These modalities aim to get to the heart of trauma and help your brain reprocess those traumatic memories. Book a free consultation and let me help you feel whole again.

Luke R. Allen
Psychologist, PhD
I operate from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach. A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I want to help you learn to respond differently to the unwanted thoughts and feelings so that you can keep your focus on living a fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

Quinn Knox
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, Trauma-Informed
Therapy has not only changed but also saved my life. I have always been interested in psychology due to being an adoptee and growing up in a blended family of various cultures and ethnicities. My struggles with addiction and the unpredictable ebbs and flows of being in the entertainment industry was the tipping point that drove me to do some major introspection and ultimately paved the way for me to become a therapist. Seeking personal therapy helped me work through childhood and sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, impulsive behaviors, and feelings of low self-worth and my goal is support others who struggle with similar issues.
For a long time, I was desperate to work on myself so I could be “good enough” to find the right partner. However, I realized that I needed to become the person of my dreams, rather than relying on another person to complete me. My hope for my clients is to help you love yourself, and get connected with supportive communities and personal interests.
