VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Athena!

Individuals and Couples Therapist. Navigating our way through life can be tough, and sometimes all it takes is some outside perspective to help us figure things out, and they can lend us that perspective. Sometimes it takes a lot more work to feel better, and I have the tools, experience, empathy, patience, and understanding to assist you.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma, depression, disruptive behaviors, and self-doubt. I support clients who feel challenged or overwhelmed and those seeking to develop healthier coping skills.

My approach

I utilize various modalities including CBT, traditional talk Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Gestalt, and Reality Therapy. I also specialize in grief therapy. I have extensive training in evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Managing and Adapting Practices, and Seeking Safety.
