“I am a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years. I have experience with children, teens and adults. I am trained in trauma and EMDR. In addition I have worked within the foster/adopt system, anxiety, anger management, depression, LGQBT+ and life transitions such as divorce, death etc. I am gender affirming and will assist in writing letters for affirming care. I start with the goals you identify, and if you don’t know where to start because you are feeling overwhelmed, we start there. My goal is always to promote growth in individuals.” - from her Psychology Today profile

“Everyone comes from a different path of life. At times, our journeys can be overwhelming and can leave us feeling anxious and depressed. They can add up to us feeling isolated, like support is a distant option. As a human being, I don’t believe that people should feel alone or struggle alone. Along with that, I feel called to be an advocate for mental health and overall wellness. I specialize in providing support and guidance to those who are navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, and life changes. With a deep commitment to empowering my clients, I offer a safe and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.” - from his Psychology Today profile

“Currently accepting new clients! I provide EMDR and/or traditional talk-therapy. I work with adult individuals with all kinds of mental health presentations or couples facing various relationship issues, such as infidelity, communication breakdowns, blended families, future planning, and attachment issues. My work aims to enhance relationship satisfaction, trust, love, communication, and intimacy. I prioritize creating a safe space for clients and nurture vulnerability as a pathway to deeper connection and understanding.” - from her Psychology Today profile

“You can’t pour from an empty cup. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and mood disorders can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming and cause you to feel like you’re failing. These things should not define you. You are not failing and you are not alone. You deserve to feel joy and excitement again from life’s moments, both big and small, and we can work together to make that happen. There is hope! Please request an appointment through our website (staterabehavioralhealth) and we will contact you. We are currently scheduling in April 2025.” - From her Psychology Today profile.

“My practice is grounded in collaboration with clients to build comfort and trust. It is my goal to create a safe and inclusive environment where we will work together toward achieving your goals. I provide psychiatric evaluations and prescription medication management with special attention to each of my clients' individual needs and concerns.

I offer sensitive and inclusive treatment for everyone and I am both neurodivergent and LGBTQIA-identifying and affirming. I utilize an informed consent framework regarding letters of medical necessity for gender-affirming care. I am also a member of the GALAP network of providers and, as such, I provide letters for those without insurance free of charge.” - From her Psychology Today profile
