“You are not broken. You are carrying things that were never meant to be carried alone, and there is a version of your life on the other side of them.”

Relationships are both rewarding and can be hard. Whether you are navigating conflict with a partner, feeling stuck in patterns you cannot seem to break, or carrying the weight of a high-stakes career that most people around you will never fully understand — you do not have to figure it out alone.

The right support can change everything. Working together, you can expect honesty, directness, and a therapist who is genuinely invested in helping you move forward. I work best with people who are ready to do real work and want a partner in that process who will tell them the truth, hold them accountable, and meet them without judgment. My approach is warm but focused. We will build trust and use it to get you where you want to go.

Jayme Gardener, LMFTA

Something feels off and you are not quite sure how to name it, let alone fix it. Maybe you are navigating a major life change, working through family conflict, or trying to understand who you are and where you belong. Whatever brought you here, you do not need to have it figured out before we start.

I work in a way that is warm, grounded, and genuinely collaborative. There is room here for the full complexity of your experience, including humor, uncertainty, and the messy parts that do not fit neatly into a category. My focus is on helping you understand your story, recognize the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and build toward the relationships and life you actually want. You set the pace, I show up fully for the work.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, family conflict, and cultural stressors. I have expertise supporting clients navigating LGBTQ+ and gender identity concerns, parent-child relationship difficulties, and questions of self-worth and belonging. My work is grounded in collaborative, narrative, somatic, and family system approaches.

  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
  • Identity exploration, self-worth, and belonging

Dr. Kai Rockwell, LICSW

If you have ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or exhausted from managing everything on your own, you are not alone, and you are not broken. Whether you are stuck in survival mode, struggling with the weight of past trauma, or just running on empty, something brought you here. That matters. So does finding the right support to help you move forward.

Therapy with me is collaborative, flexible, and shaped around how your brain actually works, not a one-size-fits-all approach that expects you to adapt to it. I focus on practical tools you can use in real life, moving at a pace that feels right for you. My style is warm and down to earth. There is no pressure to have everything figured out before we start, and no expectation that you share more than you are ready. Together we will get clear on what you need and build toward it in a way that actually sticks.

Albina Terpetska, LMFTA

You know the cycle. The argument that never really resolves, the distance that grows even when you are physically close, the feeling of walking on eggshells in relationships that are supposed to feel safe. Whether it shows up in your partnership, your family, or the way you relate to yourself, relational patterns that keep repeating are exhausting. They are not a character flaw. They are something that can change.

I work in a way that is compassionate, deeply relational, and grounded in the belief that real change happens when you feel genuinely safe enough to explore it. That means building a space where you can look honestly at the patterns keeping you stuck, in your relationships and within yourself, and developing healthier ways of connecting, communicating, and showing up for the people who matter most to you. My approach integrates emotional, cognitive, and body-based methods because lasting change rarely comes from insight alone. We work with all of it.

I am a therapist specializing in individuals, couples, and families navigating relational challenges, attachment wounds, and emotional disconnection. My work is trauma-informed and draws from a wide range of evidence-based modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and somatic and mindfulness-based approaches. My background in education and mindfulness informs how I tailor the work to each person’s unique needs and goals.

Goals, Focuses and Strategies

  • Couples therapy and relationship repair including communication, trust, and intimacy
  • Attachment wounds and family-of-origin patterns
  • Emotional disconnection and relational dynamics
  • Anxiety, self-doubt, and boundary setting
  • Life transitions and family stress
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Imago, somatic and mindfulness-based approaches

  • Individual adults
  • Couples and marriages

  • Adults navigating attachment and relational patterns

Stephanie Lee, LMHCA

Something in you knows it is time. Maybe you have been managing anxiety or depression that quietly shapes every part of your day. Maybe you are carrying wounds from relationships, trauma, or patterns that have followed you longer than you can remember. Maybe you have spent so long taking care of everyone else that you have lost touch with who you are underneath all of it. Whatever brought you here, you do not need to minimize it or have it figured out before we start.

I work with women and teen girls who are ready to do deep, honest work—not just cope but genuinely heal and reclaim a sense of self that feels powerful and whole. My approach is warm, intuitive, and spiritually grounded without being disconnected from the practical realities of your life. I meet you exactly where you are and work from the belief that healing is not something I do to you, it is something we do together. There is no divide between me and the people I serve. That is not just a philosophy. It is how I show up in every session.

I am an associate level therapist and spiritual life coach specializing in work with women and teen girls navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship struggles, sexual trauma, and intergenerational wounds. My approach is person-centered and spiritually integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Transpersonal Therapy, solution-focused therapy, and intuitive and integrative approaches tailored to what each client needs most.

Goals, Focuses and Strategies

  • Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
  • Low self-worth, identity, and self-reconnection
  • Sexual trauma and relationship struggles
  • Intergenerational and cultural wounds
  • Spiritual growth and intuitive healing
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness,
  • Transpersonal Therapy, solution-focused, and integrative approaches

Evren Zavala, LMFT

Being caught between worlds is exhausting. Between cultures, identities, generations, or systems that were never designed with you in mind. If you have spent your life code-switching, shrinking, or simply trying to make sense of who you are in a world that does not always make room for all of you, you deserve a space that does.

I work with immigrants and first-generation individuals, Queer, Transgender, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (QTBIPOC) communities, teens, and young adults navigating identity, belonging, and the very real weight of living inside systems that were not built for everyone equally. My approach is collaborative, curious, and deeply relational. I show up as a real person in the room, not a blank slate, because I believe the therapeutic relationship works best when it feels like a genuine human connection. We move at your pace, build on your strengths, and work toward a life that feels authentically yours.

I am a Queer-affirming Mexican therapist specializing in cultural and identity challenges, immigration and undocumented community support, gender and sexuality exploration, and life transitions. I have a background in community care supporting clients navigating the emotional impact of historical and ongoing systemic oppression. My work draws from Feminist Theory, Existential Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered approaches tailored to what each person needs most.

Goals, Focuses and Strategies

  • Cultural and identity challenges including immigration and first-generation experiences
  • Gender and sexuality exploration

Kacy Thompson, LMFT

Hi! I’m Kacy, and specialize in working with adults who feel stuck in patterns they can’t shake, emotions they find difficult to manage, or a persistent sense that something’s off even when life looks fine from the outside.

A lot of the people I see are dealing with anxiety, depression, rumination, anger, or shame around their own thoughts, feelings, or actions. Many come from high-pressure or traditionally stoic environments, have complex or traumatic histories, or have spent years masking, white-knuckling it, or trying fixes that didn’t stick. Some are navigating a major life transition and finding it harder than they expected, and others have been to therapy before and felt like it missed the mark.

My approach is direct, warm, and backed by evidence-based practice. I draw on somatic work, trauma-informed care, and values-based therapy to help clients understand what’s driving their patterns beneath the surface, regulate their nervous systems, and build practical skills they can actually use. We’ll have real conversations, I’ll swear sometimes, and bring genuine curiosity and humor into the room.

I believe lasting change comes from looking at what’s underneath. It’s not just managing symptoms, but understanding them deeply enough to shift what’s driving them. That’s the work I’m most interested in doing with you.

I’m based in the Pacific Northwest, where I split my time between the mountains, the ocean, and keeping two kids (and too many houseplants) alive. My cat has a habit of joining sessions, and your pet is always welcome too. Show up as you are. We’ll figure out the rest.
