We focus on what matters to you, build on your strengths, and work through challenges at a pace that feels right for you. The goal is growth, clarity, and improved well-being.

Danielle Ritenour, LMFT
As a therapist I believe transformation is a lifelong skill that can be a terrifying, thrilling and an empowering journey. I try my best to provide a safe environment for my clients and to join them where they are at; in their own unique process of bettering themselves. When an individual is allowed to speak freely, it promotes acceptance, understanding one’s own values/ beliefs and allows mind, body and spiritual growth. It is an honor to be able to provide an encouraging and positive therapeutic experience while accompanying client/clients on their journey.

Katherine Box, LCSW
Therapy is a journey toward healing at a time in your life when you may be seeking change, consultation or guidance to manage this change. The desire for this change may come from experiences created by choices from yourself, others or circumstances beyond your control. My approach views therapy not just as treatment, but as an essential journey across all aspects of life. In this process, I see my role as providing focused teaching, guidance, and expert consultation to help you gain insight, reprocess experiences, and build skills for lasting resilience and growth. I look forward to meeting you!

Christi Morales-Kumasawa, LMFT
I meet clients wherever they are in their life journey and honor their unique experiences. As a Filipina, I’m mindful of how culture and systems shape well-being. My deep understanding of neurodiversity comes with respect for different communication and processing styles. I incorporate mind-body approaches (somatic) —like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Emotional Freedom Technique, and Mindfulness—to help the brain and body work together to process stress to feel better. I can offer short, goal-oriented sessions or space for deeper healing — and tailor sessions to my clients’ individual needs.
