Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
Sex and intimacy struggles? Communication challenges?
Are you exploring your gender and/or sexuality? I am here to support you and to collaborate with you. I provide a safe space to explore who you are becoming and to discern old thought patterns that are no longer of service. I provide a healing space free from judgement. I offer tools that you can immediately integrate into your current experience. I will collaborate with you and the intersections of your unique experience / identity.

Castle Rock Family Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, ACSW
We founded Castle Rock Family Services with a simple yet powerful belief: that we could be a force for positive change in our community. So many people are struggling, and we are committed to walking alongside them, providing support through a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy.
Our goal is to meet clients where they are in their journey and empower them to work toward their goals. Personally, I specialize in working with children and teens, helping them navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. One of the greatest privileges of my work is collaborating with our incredible team of therapists—an inspiring group of compassionate, dedicated, and knowledgeable professionals who are deeply committed to supporting our clients, their families, and the community as a whole.
It is an honor to serve and support our community in every way we can, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether you're adjusting to life with a new baby, wondering if your young child is on track developmentally, worried about your child's anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, or feeling stuck in patterns with your teen, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I believe that behavior always has meaning. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work to understand the experiences, relationships, and developmental needs that may be shaping them. Together, we'll build on your family's strengths while helping your child or teen develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
I specialize in working with infants and young children, children, and parents. My approach is grounded in attachment, developmental science, and play therapy, creating a space where children feel safe enough to express themselves and parents feel supported rather than judged. I also have specialized training in infant mental health and enjoy working with families during pregnancy, infancy, and the early years to strengthen the parent-child relationship, support healthy development, and address concerns before they become bigger challenges.
My goal is for every family to leave therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves and one another, along with practical tools and renewed hope for the future.

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.
