Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Maybe you're exhausted from carrying everything on your own. You want someone to lean on, but trusting people has never felt safe. You tell yourself you should be over what happened by now, but you still feel the impact of the past. You are really hard on yourself, struggle to get close to people, feel on edge even when nothing is wrong, or wonder why the same relationship patterns keep showing up. On the outside, you might look like you're keeping it together, but internally you feel exhausted and alone.
One of the things I love most about being a therapist is helping people finally make sense of and find closure from experiences that have never truly been processed. And to provide the support you’ve always needed but have never truly received. Healing is about helping both your mind and body learn that you don't have to stay in survival mode. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to create meaningful, lasting change.
I know you may feel like you can't really rely on anyone and have had to handle everything on your own. Working with me as your therapist, you'll finally have someone in your corner who has your back and will be your biggest advocate. My clients have described me as someone patient and compassionate who will also give direct, helpful feedback that supports their goals; and someone who isn't afraid to bring some well-timed humor into sessions, because healing involves connecting with joy too.
Our work together will be intentional. I come with a personalized plan for each session so you get the most out of your therapy. Everything will be tailored to your unique story, goals, and nervous system. We'll move at your pace while addressing the deeper roots of what's keeping you stuck, so you can build self-trust, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of peace in your daily life. If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you during a free 15-minute consultation! To schedule a consultation, you can contact me to coordinate a time or book directly on my website if that's easier.

Dr. Shannon Jordan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, LICSW
Are you dealing with stress, relationship issues, mood disorders, career/professional concerns, or life transitions? Are you feeling overwhelmed and imbalanced? When this happens, everything else suffers, from your personal to your professional life, including how you feel. You may find it challenging to find the right therapist who can help you heal. Just know that you are not alone. It can be difficult to seek therapy, especially if you tried it before and felt like it didn't work. “One size does not fit all.” My approach is tailored to help you find long-lasting solutions.

Owelleth Mental Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MedFT
I am deeply passionate about being a therapist it is much more than a career to me and shows in the work I do, as well as the ongoing learning and trainings I am continually seeking. I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, safe, and understood—often for the first time. I am especially drawn to working with trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, grief, and the relational challenges that shape this. Many of my clients identify as "neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) and struggle with things like low self-esteem, perfectionism, and expressing needs/wants. Often this can affect how and who we love, function, and navigate major life transitions like divorce, parenting, career, grief, and medical care-taking. I don’t view therapy as “fixing” people, but as walking alongside them as they reconnect with their strengths, rewrite painful patterns, and build relationships rooted in security and self-trust. This work matters to me because I have seen how powerful it is when someone realizes their story makes sense—and that change is possible. My focus is on building a safe and trusting relationship where I get to know you as an individual without judgement. I have worked in hospitals, schools, community/public health, but nothing has brought me as much joy and fulfillment as private practice.

Iam Jophiel, LCSW, SEP, CPAT, CCTP-II
Therapist, @ Embodied Sovereignty Therapy
I’m here to support you! I believe that you are more than what has happened to you, the roles you have learned to carry, or the ways you have adapted to survive. Therapy can offer a space to reconnect with yourself beneath those experiences, while honoring the wisdom, complexity, and humanity you already bring with you.
I approach my work with you with curiosity, compassion, intuition, and deep respect for your autonomy. My intention is to offer a relationship and space where you can feel seen and supported, listen more deeply to yourself, and explore what becomes possible when you have greater access to awareness, choice, and your own embodied wisdom.
