My clients tend to be Black and Brown folx, the LGBTQIA community, and college students, though individuals from all walks of life are welcome into my therapy space. Some of my specialties include working with race-related stress and trauma, relationship concerns, building self-esteem and self-confidence, reconnecting to ancestral wisdom, and healing from past traumas.

Hardik Kotak

I work well with people who are struggling with mental health concerns following traumatic experiences including narcissistic abuse, intergenerational trauma, sexual abuse and experiences related to their minority identity (gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, race, ethnicity, etc.). I am a good fit for people who have trouble identifying or communicating their needs, and struggle with a sense of chronic loneliness or depression. My style is also suited for folks who feel stuck in their life.

Rachel Pallmeyer

As the expert of your own experience, you deserve to be listened to and understood. I intend to hold space for all aspects of your unique identities. Everyone faces challenges and obstacles in the world. For many of us, these barriers are the result of systemic oppression. In therapy, we can explore how your thoughts, feelings, and motivations are influenced by these external forces, and how you can navigate them authentically, while centering your inherent capacity and resilience.

I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, neurodiversity, relationship concerns, stress, trauma, substance use, OCD, and more. I am also passionate about working with other queer, kinky, and poly folx.

Joy Walsh

It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.

Miranda Mulcrone

Do you find yourself asking, "Why am I ______ (feeling/ thinking/doing) this?" and then feeling much worse as if shame would work this time? I want to work with you to identify the needs that your feelings, body, patterns and behaviors are trying to express to you to bring you a more fulfilled life (whatever that looks like).

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.
