Sarah Kinane

Sarah’s main clientele consists of clients exploring their identity development and other life transitions.

Jacklyn Cheng

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigating trauma, relationships, systemic oppression, and life transitions. Having lived between cultures, I deeply understand the complexities of balancing identities and expectations. My experiences in community-based care, psychiatric inpatient settings, and supportive housing inform my work with underserved communities. If this resonates, I’d be honored to support you in building the life you envision.

Andrew Hanley

At Resilience Lab, my clients are curious about understanding themselves on a deeper level, exploring the past experiences and relationship patterns shaping their present. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly how you want to change. A willingness to reflect and try new approaches to relationships can be a powerful first step in creating meaningful transformation.

Carl Williamson

I work with adults across the lifespan, including adolescents transitioning into adulthood; this includes individual, family, couple, and relationship work. I often meet people at transitional moments when anxiety, depression, relational conflict, or symptoms of trauma surface. Our work is to learn how you arrived at this moment and in what ways we move forward together. I have worked extensively with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Are you looking to reflect, learn more about yourself, understand the patterns in you life, and determine which you want to keep and which no longer serve you? Let's understand what's affecting you in the here and now, reflect on the past and how this may be influencing your responses, and build on your strengths. Let's come up with goals and identify strategies to reach those goals. I use an integrative approach pulling from CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic/relational therapy.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
