On the outside, you make success look easy, though it comes at a cost. You hide parts of yourself, which leaves you wrestling with overwhelm, anxiety, and self-esteem. You may even feel an internal game of tug of war. My goal is to help alleviate the struggles and difficulties you've been carrying alone by providing a caring and welcoming space. Together, we will look at various parts of yourself and find what's not working, so new patterns can emerge by deepening insight and finding pragmatic solutions. I enjoy helping clients improve communication, understand emotions, and create a healthy relationship with themselves and others.

I strive to create a space that is non-judgmental by using humor, patience, and curiosity. In sessions, I use a holistic lens to understand how culture, your health, and the past impact you today to identify unhelpful patterns. I pull techniques from CBT and Polyvagal to help you move into helpful patterns needed so you can reach your fullest potential.

This process isn't easy, and I want to acknowledge that. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this! Please note, our office is out-of-network with insurance, but we file all out-of-network claims on your behalf after each session. If you are interested in working together, please get in touch with me for a free 15-minute consultation.

I work with clients, who may be feel disconnected or consistently tired. During the initial session or intake, I gather information about your life. The intake helps to develop a plan and goals for therapy, in which we collaborate on throughout the course of your therapeutic journey. Then, we start to delve into the what's most important to provide the relief sought.

Kaitlin Christy- Anxiety, OCD, Child/Teen

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT, APCC

Savannah leads sessions with compassion and curiosity. If you are logic-based and tend to intellectualize your emotions, Savannah gently challenges and offers new perspectives that will lead you toward change. Her warmth provides a safe space to grow.

Darcy Manav - Childhood and Sexual Trauma, C-PTSD

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CYT

Christine Quynh Anh Nguyen

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MS, AMFT

Savannah has a gentle, warm way of talking that makes you feel safe. Don't let that fool you though; just because she's patient, doesn't mean she won't catch patterns and unhealthy behaviors effortlessly. She just waits until you're ready to acknowledge it

I conceptualize using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT looks at how your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors impact each other. Additionally, I like to understand how your body may interact with the pattern. I support clients, so they can face and understand the overwhelming emotions felt through tangible ways to regulate while still going to the roots of the issue at hand.
