Allison Staiger

Becoming a parent can be a landmine. What is often billed as simple, linear, and seamless can be filled with complicated emotions, experiences, and a sense of overwhelm. I work with people on all points of the birthing path- whether you are just thinking about having a child, trying to conceive, are pregnant or postpartum . This includes people struggling with infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and birth trauma, as well as partners and birth workers.

Jordan Dobrowski

Have you been disappointed by treatments that don't work and providers that don't get it? Are you tired of having to keep parts of yourself in the closet or check them outside the therapist's door? Utilizing a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to therapy, Jordan invites clients to show-up and be seen as their full selves, worthy and capable of care. You are welcome here.

Sometimes it becomes a little harder to get through life’s challenges on your own. You may find yourself needing some extra help and that’s okay! That’s where I come in! I believe each session should be individualized to meet your specific needs and goals. The therapeutic relationship and environment are very important in setting a solid foundation for the therapeutic process. We will use these foundations to work collaboratively toward your goals.

Kyla Dannelke

When I first meet with people, some of my first questions I might ask are: - What made you hit the "Search therapists" button? - Do you have difficulty making decisions? - Feel stuck or lost when it comes to your direction in this busy life you've got going on? - Do you feel like things are just simply, unmanageable? I want my clients to feel at home in my office and talking to me about all of these questions, the way you feel comfortable talking to your closest friends and confidants.

Amy Markley

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Sometimes, incredibly so. Maybe the person you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in your partner at all. My clients are couples, individuals and families who want to love each other more fully and strengthen their bonds.

Roseann Martarano

Clients whom I've worked well with are often experiencing interpersonal struggles, depression, anxiety, physical symptoms, and unhelpful behaviors that stem from earlier trauma. Some clients may be new to therapy and others may have done a lot of therapy and are looking for a different approach. I've also worked with many clients who are struggling with a current issue such as stress, illness, loss, relationship issues, and life transitions. I've witnessed so much courage and resilience.
