Kayla Yasuda, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Do you often feel unheard, unseen, or unimportant within your family, friendships, or other relationships? Maybe you identify as a people-pleaser and find it difficult to prioritize your own needs. These challenges can feel burdensome, isolating, and extremely anxiety-provoking. And they often have deeper roots in past traumas, like parental emotional neglect, childhood abuse, or a lifetime of feeling emotionally unsafe. Perhaps you already “logically” connected these dots, yet you still find yourself stuck in the same old patterns.

I help people to take that next step in fully processing and releasing these emotions, stored traumas, and burdens. I utilize approaches including EMDR and Narrative therapy to move past these challenges and to reshape your identity that reflects your true values, voice, and strengths.

If you’re ready to break old patterns, feel more confident in yourself, and strengthen your relationships, I hear you and I see you. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.
