Hi there, I'm Archelena!

I work with adults dealing with mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, psychosis, grief and loss, PTSD, and relationship challenges. My goal is to meet you where you're at and provide tools that empower you to live a fulfilling life despite unforeseen circumstances.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions—both celebrations like new relationships and losses like grief. I support clients processing childhood traumas, establishing effective communication, and building skills to handle unforeseen circumstances with confidence.

My approach

I collaborate with each client to identify the best treatment model for your needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy to create a personalized approach.
