Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you feel seen? Do you feel heard? Do you feel you matter? Those are the ingredients that build connection. And connection is vitally important for our happiness. However, so often today that's exactly what we find is missing. And life can hand us things we don't know how to deal with. I'd love to work with you to help you build strategies that build connection between yourself and those you care about. I’m deeply moved by the work people do for repair and healing. Share your story with me. I will listen without judgment and with compassion for your struggle.

Jamie Roach
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MDiv, NCC
Life is hard—and when we dare to really live, it can leave us overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly hurting. I don’t believe this means something is wrong with you; I believe it means you’re human. Whether you’re longing to feel more at home in yourself, struggling in a relationship that matters deeply, or navigating a season of transition or loss, therapy can offer a steady place to pause and make sense of what you’re carrying. My work with individuals, couples, and families is grounded in presence, honesty, and compassion, helping you reconnect with the wisdom, strength, and love that already live within you. Sometimes we don’t need fixing—we need a trusted guide and a safe space to remember who we are. If you’re here, it tells me you’ve been open, and openness often comes with wounds. I would be honored to walk alongside you as we gently explore your story and open new possibilities for peace, clarity, and a more fully lived life.

I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Life is hard, and sometimes life gets messy. Relationships get complicated, emotions get overwhelming, and even when you know something needs to change, you may not know where to start. That's where therapy can help.
My goal is not simply to give you a place to vent (although there is certainly a time and place for that!). I want to help you understand why you're feeling the way you do, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and figure out what you can actually do differently. Therapy should give you insight, but it should also give you tools you can use in real life- to make life easier.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of emotional concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, fear, jealousy, negativity, and feeling overwhelmed or confused. I also have extensive experience working with compulsive and addictive behaviors, including sex and love addiction, codependency, and impulsive behaviors.
Relationships are another major area of my practice. I help people work through conflict, communication problems, infidelity, broken trust, intimacy concerns, breakups, and relationship recovery. I also offer premarital and pre-divorce counseling for couples who want to make thoughtful decisions about their future rather than simply react to what's happening in the moment.
I also work with families who have reached an impasse—situations where communication has broken down, hurt and resentment have accumulated, or family members simply cannot seem to agree on how to move forward. Sometimes everyone involved has a different version of what happened, and everyone feels justified in their position. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help family members communicate more effectively, understand one another's perspectives, establish healthier boundaries, and determine whether there is a path forward. When families have been stuck for a long time, even finding a way to have a productive conversation can be meaningful progress.
I work with social and personal issues as well, including assertiveness, self-esteem, external validation, peer pressure, bullying, communication, forgiveness, and other challenges that can make it difficult to feel confident and comfortable in your own life.
My approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy. In practical terms, that means we'll look at the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while focusing on what can be changed moving forward. I don't believe you need to spend years analyzing every detail of your past in order to make meaningful progress. Understanding where your patterns came from can be helpful, but learning how to change them is what ultimately creates a different future.
Therapy isn't about being perfect, and it's definitely not about pretending that problems don't exist. We all make mistakes, get stuck in unhealthy patterns, and occasionally make choices we wish we could take back. The important part is what you do next.
My job is to help you move from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain toward greater clarity, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of control over your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. That's part of what we're here to figure out together.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.
