Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Jordan Specht
Marriage and Family Therapist, Intern in Couple and Family Therapy
Are you looking for help navigating relationship issues or sexual dissatisfaction? Do you need a space to safely process the trauma or deconstruct the unhelpful beliefs that hinder you from becoming your most authentic self? The world can feel heavy, and I am here to help you carry that weight. As a systemic therapist, I support my clients in identifying and healing unhealed wounds, understanding how intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics interact, and fostering lifestyles that feel authentic rather than predetermined. All behavior makes sense in context, and I am happy to work alongside you to identify that context to facilitate not only your healing, but your thriving.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
I offer a therapy experience that goes beyond just talking about problems. My work is collaborative, experiential, and rooted in the belief that every client already has the wisdom they are craving within them. I specialize in Internal Family Systems and bring both clinical and personal experience to the work I do with attachment trauma, neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism), and anxiety. I also provide compassionate, affirming care for LGBTQ+ and trans clients and I'm deeply committed to creating a space where all parts of you feel welcome.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Carrying anxiety, holding back your voice, or tending to everyone else’s needs can feel deeply lonely. If you’re stretched thin or unsure of your next step, I want you to know that you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself.
With over 30 years as a psychotherapist specializing in EFT, somatic work, anxiety, and trauma, I’ve supported countless women right at this crossroads. I’ve seen how healing becomes possible when the body is included in the conversation and the nervous system finally has room to unwind.
Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space filled with warmth, honesty, and grounded support. Using body-based tools and compassionate guidance, I’ll help you feel safe enough to explore what’s underneath—and empowered to build the life you’ve been longing for.

Relationships and Anxiety Specialist Cecilia Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I'm passionate about helping women heal from childhood wounds and relational trauma. Most of my clients are in their mid 20's, 30's and 40's, feeling anxious and lost in relationships that don't feel fulfilling. Whether its romantic relationships, career and social relationships, or family of origin relationships, they feel like they are doing so much, giving so much but still don’t feel like any of it is enough. I see them struggle as they feel stuck feeling unfulfilled, anxious and overwhelmed, often in cycles of perfectionism, validation seeking, or people pleasing behaviors.
I therapy, I help women gain insight into the different parts within themselves (IFS) and guide them toward awareness of narratives that keep them stuck (Narrative Therapy). I facilitate the process of rewriting these narratives and develop once that lead to healing and empowerment. I help women become more attuned to their emotions (Somatic therapy and Mindfulness), their needs and their values (ACT) so that they can move through life feeling proud of themselves and the life they're living. Through this process, I’ve seen countless women become more calm and confident and start relationships that feel healthy and fulfilling.
