Kristen Tarquin
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
People seek therapy for many different reasons. Often it begins with a sense that something feels harder than it should, or that stress and pressure have started to build in ways that are difficult to manage alone.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin, therapy can provide a steady hand to guide you and a grounded space to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
In our work together, we'll focus on identifying your inner strengths, building coping tools rooted in your values, and creating a meaningful, realistic path toward healing. Emotional pain is something we often try to avoid, but real growth begins when we allow ourselves to fully experience and understand those feelings. My approach centers around shifting from emotional avoidance to emotional acceptance. I work through an attachment-based lens, recognizing how early experiences shape our current relationships and emotional patterns. I also frequently incorporate self-compassion practices to help you relate to yourself with more kindness and care.

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
I work especially well with thoughtful, capable people who may understand themselves intellectually yet continue to feel caught in patterns they cannot resolve through insight or effort alone. Many of my patients are accustomed to functioning well, carrying responsibility, and caring for others while privately struggling with anxiety, depletion, shame, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves.
What distinguishes my practice is the depth and individuality of the work. I do not reduce people to diagnoses or apply the same treatment formula to everyone. I seek to understand how your history, relationships, identities, strengths, and protective strategies have shaped your inner world. I am attentive not only to what you tell me, but also to what may be difficult to articulate, what repeatedly gets enacted in relationships, and what unfolds between us in therapy.
My style is thoughtful, engaged, and collaborative. I respect complexity and do not impose artificial urgency, but I am not passive. I will help us notice when fear, avoidance, or familiar patterns begin to limit what feels possible. My goal is to offer a relationship in which you can become more fully known, develop a different relationship with your internal experience, and gain greater freedom to choose how you want to live.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I work with high achievers, professionals, executives, and driven individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in constant overthinking. You may be managing career pressure, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, relationship stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Even when things look successful from the outside, it can feel exhausting to keep pushing while privately second-guessing yourself.
My approach is practical, direct, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life. We will work on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, building confidence in your decisions, improving boundaries, managing stress more effectively, and creating a healthier relationship with work, achievement, and responsibility. The goal is not just insight, but real progress.
