If you’ve spent years masking, over-explaining, or trying to fit into spaces not built for you, my practice offers a different path. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an MSW from UC Berkeley, I provide a space where you don’t need to be "fixed"—you need to be understood. My work centers on supporting neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, those navigating complex cultural identities, and people healing from trauma. I integrate evidence-based clinical practices with the healing traditions of my Tlingit and Hawaiian heritage.

Prior to private practice, I served as a first responder and worked in government and community settings, providing support to diverse populations who have often felt overlooked by traditional mental health systems. Whether we are addressing complex trauma or the daily toll of navigating a world that doesn't always make room for you, I am committed to providing an affirming and deeply collaborative therapeutic experience.

Pregnant or a new mom and find yourself saying, "I need sleep and I can't stop thinking about all this!", "What is something happens?", "No one else can take care of my baby better than I". Does your child or teen struggle with stress and worry? If this is you, you are not alone. Your day does not have to be filled with countless hours of worry or uncertainty. Schedule a consultation today and let's get brighter days ahead! This space if for you!

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life understanding. I’m not only a clinician—I’m also someone who has personally experienced anxiety, panic, and grief. I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility for meaningful change.

Parents often find comfort in learning more about their child’s development while gaining practical tools to support them at home. Children benefit from a safe, engaging play space where they can express themselves and grow.

If you're ready to feel more connected, confident, and supported, I invite you to take the next step. Schedule a consultation today, and let’s begin your journey toward hope and transformation.

Healing happens in relationships, and I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, focusing on the whole family system. When one person struggles, it affects everyone. My approach is collaborative, relational, and strengths-based, prioritizing a safe space, unconditional positive regard, and a strong therapeutic alliance. I work with toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, parents, couples, and families. I help families navigate emotional and behavioral challenges and individuals seeking growth, connection, and healing.

I treat ADHD, OCD, Anxiety & Depression, Emotional Dysregulation & Adjustment Issues. I offer Child-Centered Play Therapy, Filial Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy for Goal-Oriented Change, Parent Support, & Family Therapy.

Every child deserves to feel seen, every parent deserves support, and every person deserves a space of hope and growth. Let’s work together to create lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual • Modesto, CA


Hello, I'm Art, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who discovered a passion for helping others later in life. My approach is grounded in motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy, creating a supportive environment where trust, acceptance, and meaningful change can flourish.

As a combat veteran, I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward seeking help. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, clarify your goals, and grow into the person you want to become.

I have worked with adults, couples, families, and adolescents across a variety of clinical settings, supporting individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and life transitions. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) along with the Flash Technique to help clients process difficult experiences while minimizing emotional overwhelm.

I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), an integrative treatment that can help deepen insight, promote healing, and support lasting change when traditional approaches alone may not be enough.

My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and respect as you move toward greater healing, resilience, and self-discovery.
