Joyce DeVera

You struggle with day to day activities because of the relentless negative loops that play over and over in your mind. You are anxious and do not know how to deal with or understand why. You are in a relationship with poor or no communication. You are a "people pleaser" and lack the inability to say "no". Small tasks feel overwhelming. You are confused and anxious about your next steps. You are ready to be the best version of yourself. Am I talking to you?

Jessica Cruz

Feelings of inadequacy and never being enough are toxic cycles. They affect how you act in relationships, handle situations, and view the world. As a second-generation Asian American, I understand the impact of culture and family dynamics. Growing up, there may have been pressure to fit a certain mold. Now, you may find yourself struggling with boundaries and perfectionism. These are symptoms of intergenerational trauma which I specialize in, or they may stem from other areas of your life.

You feel lonely and it seems like you and your partner argue about the same thing over and over. You make changes in your relationship, but it doesn’t have the outcome you expected. You feel completely overwhelmed and don’t know how you got here. You want to open your relationship and don’t know how to talk to your partner about it. Although it may feel overwhelming to take the step of therapy, you know that a better relationship with yourself and others is possible.

My clients typically come to therapy grieving a painful loss (like the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or even the loss of a part of their identity), trying to shift unhelpful patterns or behaviors in their relationships, struggling to adapt to a new life phase (like parenthood, starting college, or a new job), having a hard time managing big emotions, or seeking deeper meaning and connection.
