As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families. My specialties include relationship problems, sex/intimacy concerns, and PTSD. I also have special experience working with other mental health and medical providers, students, those experiencing co-occurring medical and mental health conditions, anxiety, depression, and addiction.

Are you struggling with overcoming depression, anxiety, and/or PTSD due to trauma? For 20 years I have worked with individuals to heal from various traumatic experiences. I look to create an empowering space for all the adolescents and adults I work with by providing EMDR therapy.

I am: a psychologist, a researcher, a community organizer, an educator, a Filipina American, a daughter/mother/sis/partner, and the list may go on. I share this, because often therapists don’t, and to note that my work as a therapist has been cultivated from a myriad of paths taken to get through this thing called “life”. As such, I know that one’s life path can change, and depending on your context, can feel like you’re taking the same path yet have a vastly different journey and destination.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 10 years of experience seeing clients using an eclectic approach to treatment. I utilize humanistic, cognitive behavioral, solution focused and other approaches to help you achieve what you seek from your therapy.

Hi there! My name is Dr. Catherine Nash and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience supporting adult individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, women’s mental health, and other psychological challenges with a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, promoting overall health and wellness.

I’ve always been fascinated by the connection between mental health and overall well-being, which led me to pursue a career in psychology. My passion for serving underserved populations grew through experiences in behavioral medicine within an integrated primary care model, where I saw the profound impact of mental health on overall health. Over time, I’ve focused my practice on women’s mental health, addressing trauma, emotional well-being, and co-occurring conditions. I strive to create safe, culturally sensitive spaces where clients can explore, grow, and thrive, with an approach centered on empathy, education, and empowerment.

Hi, I’m Dr. Afarin Rajaei (she/her), a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and purpose. In my 10 years in therapy, my approach has evolved to be warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, drawing from narrative therapy, systemic thinking, and the Gottman Method.

Whether you're coping with anxiety, relationship stress, identity shifts, or life transitions, I provide a space where your experiences are validated and your goals are honored. Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths, address barriers, and co-create strategies for growth and healing. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive lens and bring deep experience in supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including immigrants and those navigating intergenerational dynamics.

Clients often tell me they feel seen and understood in our work together—and that therapy with me helps them reconnect with their voice, values, and vision for life. If you’re seeking a therapist who balances insight with actionable change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
