Good therapy starts with the right person.

“The project of being human is messy, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. I’m not here to help you perform wellness — I’m here to help you actually find it.”

• Partners seeking to build a strong foundation together through premarital and early relationship work
• Couples navigating recurring conflict, feeling stuck in frustrating and painful patterns, who want to find their way back
• Individuals who tend to think analytically but want deeper access to their emotional lives and to that of their loved ones
• Therapy in English and Spanish — Dr. Fernandez is a native Spanish speaker

“When parents come to me concerned about seeing familiar anxiety patterns in their children, we work together to break that cycle. We often focus on tolerating uncertainty and discomfort — essential skills for both parents and children.”

• Parents who recognize their own patterns of anxiety in their children and want help responding differently, so those patterns are less likely to be reinforced or passed on
• Analytical thinkers, scientists, and other professionals navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, or relationship challenges
• Adults who keep running into the same difficulties in close relationships and want to better understand what is getting in the way

“We all have internal relational and emotional maps, drawn from our earliest experiences. But sometimes they blur the line between past and present, leading us in circles. My job is to help people redraw their maps and access their compass so they can find a clearer path forward.”

• Long-term couples who still care deeply about one another but feel stuck, distant, or caught in longstanding patterns, including partners who have been together 15–25+ years
• Analytical and logical thinkers who understand a great deal intellectually but struggle with the emotional side of relationships
• Professionals navigating relationship stress, anxiety, major life transitions like retirement, or burnout
• Neurodiverse couples, including relationships where ADHD or autism shapes communication and connection

“Many of my clients are the person everyone else counts on. They are successful by most measures but still feel like they are falling short. We try to bridge that gap. Therapy is often the first place they start to think about what they need.”

• People who have anxiety or OCD
• Adults with ADHD and adult ADHD assessments
• Students, young adults, and professionals under high levels of pressure, struggling with people-pleasing, or facing burnout

“Our bodies and minds respond to stress and trauma in ways that may have been protective at the time but can later hold us back. Modern therapy helps us become aware of these responses, allowing us to choose how we react instead of being driven by them. It also supports healing old wounds, freeing us to live more fully and authentically.”

• Executives looking to make an investment in their inner world
• Those looking for more than simply validation from their therapist
• Those new to therapy or ambivalent around therapy

“I view emotions and behavior as part of an interconnected system, and I strive to treat people as the complex beings they are. I often bring in a somatic lens, listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us, integrating mindfulness and present moment awareness into therapy. Our bodies matter, our relationships matter.”

• People pleasers and overachievers who are burnt out, anxious, or running on empty
• Young adults and adults navigating identity, trauma, neurodiversity, major life transitions, or complicated relationships with themselves and others
• People living with chronic illness, chronic pain, or the stress and uncertainty of a body that does not always behave predictably

“Pain often carries meaning we haven’t understood yet. Therapy can be a place where even the hardest experiences are brought into the relationship, understood, and worked through instead of being carried alone.”

• Professionals who thrive at work and want to develop the parts of themselves that close relationships call on
• Couples who keep ending up in the same painful fights or distance, and are still committed to finding a better way
• Those who experience emotions intensely, sometimes to the point of feeling overwhelmed, and want to understand and shift what’s happening inside them

“I love helping adults shift narratives rooted in trauma and shame to ones of resilience and self-compassion. Trauma and anxiety often strip us of trust in ourselves; I work closely with clients to help them rebuild that trust and security.”

• People struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, overwhelm, or difficulty trusting themselves
• Clients navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, birth-related trauma, or other major transitions into parenthood
• Young adults who are sensitive, perceptive, and trying to find their footing in an intense and demanding world
