Hello. My name is Marquis. Welcome to The Center of Resiliency. I am excited to begin working with you and look forward to creating a space that facilitates your growth.

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, members of the LGBTQ+ community, low-income communities, people of color, substance abuse, teens, adults, and couples.

My approach is to create an empathetic and understanding environment that allows you to be yourself at a subconscious level. Using the Psychodynamic method, we work together to understand the reasoning behind traits and behaviors, and by accompanying these interventions with CBT to support any desired changes.

I attended Pepperdine University for my Masters and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for my Undergraduate. I enjoy weight lifting, anime, and baking desserts. I love exploring new cultures and traditions as well as meeting new people.

I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Professional Clinical Counseling intern with the Center of Resiliency. I am excited to begin our work together!

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents with a range of life challenges, including depression, anxiety and panic management, relationship and interpersonal issues, life changes and adjustments, and PTSD and trauma.

I consider my practice to be person-centered, and am also certified in The Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 and am in progress on Level 2, so I also integrate many research-backed interventions for improving interpersonal relationships with individuals and also with couples. I believe that you are the expert in your life, and will work collaboratively with you to set goals for your therapy journey.

I am currently a student at Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology, and have built upon my previous experience as a counselor in an inpatient setting to be able to provide the best trauma-informed care. I have a strong belief in resiliency and building upon your strengths in your therapy journey.

My goal is to create a space for you to join me in a collaborative healing process, where you feel appreciated and heard. I so look forward to working together to begin this journey for you!

I specialize in working with teens, adults, couples, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community who are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, relationship issues, eating disorders, and sexual health concerns. I am dedicated to providing culturally competent and identity-affirming care.

My approach to therapy is rooted in humanistic and narrative practices. I believe in the power of your story and work collaboratively to help explore who you are apart from your problems.

Hi, I’m Aaron. Welcome to the Center of Resiliency.

Life can feel overwhelming, and these days it’s easier than ever to feel lost. Know that you are not alone. Whether you’re working toward personal goals, trying to break old patterns or  hoping to find some peace, I’m here to offer a supportive space where we can figure things out together.

I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, and religious trauma and life transitions, including those navigating the challenges of leaving a high-demand religion.

My style is warm and client-centered. I often draw from evidence-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help you manage stress, develop healthier coping strategies and meet your goals.

I am currently a counselor-in-training enrolled at Palo Alto University. I enjoy long bike rides, listening to music and crashing in front of the TV after a long day. I know the value of using humor and laughter in life and in session.

 Hello, I’m Emily and welcome!

I look forward to making a meaningful impact on those paving their own journey toward healing and personal growth. My calling has always been to make each person feel seen, heard, respected, and ultimately empowered to navigate life’s challenges. My hope is to create a lasting impact that ignites a vital psychological process of adaption and resilience.

I am committed to working with all types of individuals. In addition, I have special skills in working with teens, adults, children, and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, substance use, and family system dynamics. While my experiences have shaped my current areas of focus, I believe that personal and professional growth is continuous. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel supported in their evolving journey, ensuring therapy remains collaborative, meaningful, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and deep attunement to my clients' experiences. I am naturally sensitive to both verbal and nonverbal communication, allowing me to explore emotions and struggles that may have otherwise been overlooked. I strive to reach the core of a client’s struggles and explore the thoughts and feelings that may have gone unacknowledged. Clients are the heart of every session, and I aim to create an open space where they feel safe to express, process, and reflect—knowing they are heard, never judged and always met with warmth and understanding.

I am currently pursuing my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Alliant International University. My background includes working in child welfare and substance abuse recovery, where I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of guidance and support. Outside of therapy, I enjoy engaging in healthy outlets, exploring new places, and continuously learning—both in my practice and personal life.

Hey, I’m Sadé (pronounced Shah-day). I know therapy can feel intimidating, I get it. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to offer a process that moves at your pace and centers your needs. As a Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) Intern, I support individuals, teens, couples, and families in facing whatever life brings big or small. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through whatever challenges you're facing. I’m especially passionate about working with those navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship challenges whether romantic, family, or platonic, breakups, life transitions, PTSD, attachment wounds, emotional regulation, burnout, and cultural identity concerns.

I take an integrative, evidence-based approach to therapy, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). These modalities help clients explore emotions, challenge unhelpful patterns, reframe personal narratives, and build on strengths. I believe in a person-centered approach, where we collaborate to support your journey of self-discovery. Each person’s path is unique, and I am here to walk alongside you, helping you navigate life’s complexities with empathy, respect, and understanding.

As a Black queer woman in the mental health field, I am especially committed to providing a safe, affirming space for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your emotions and develop effective coping strategies.

My Background: I’m currently pursuing my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Loma Linda University, building on a strong academic foundation that includes a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University, Los Angeles, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. My passion for understanding human behavior and social systems fuels my commitment to

fostering healing, resilience, and meaningful connection. With over a decade of experience in case management, crisis intervention, and advocacy including work in government settings

such as social services and correctional mental health, I bring a trauma-informed, culturally attuned perspective to supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges.

A Little About Me: Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my teenage son as well as connecting with friends and family. We often explore new restaurants, try exciting activities, or catch the latest movie. Traveling is a big passion of mine, and I love discovering new places and cultures. In my downtime, I make space for self-reflection and recharging so I can continue supporting others in their healing journeys. If youre ready to begin your path toward healing and growth, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
