Life can be difficult, and we're here to help.
If you’re in a stuck spot and not feeling good about things, you’ve landed in the right spot.
Together through therapy, we’ll explore in a trusting and safe space where you’d like to be, and more importantly, we’ll create a plan to get you to where you want to be. This is the power of working with a skilled therapist.
Together, we’ll identify what matters to you and what changes you’d like to make that helps put you on the path to living your best life. We’ll give you the tools, coaching, guidance, accountability, and all the love, care and support you’ll need to start feeling good again.

I help my clients activate their inner wisdom so they can make powerful decisions to create the life they want. I absolutely love helping people change their lives and experience freedom from confusion, fear and doubt.
I have over ten years of experience helping individuals overcome the challenges and frustrations of life so they achieve their dreams. I have helped 1000s of clients remove the blocks that are keeping them trapped in unhealthy patterns while giving them the tools and strategies to upgrade their life.

We’ll go deep into the unconscious self, working on a mental, emotional and spiritual level to bring you into wholeness, clarity and connection. You’ll be able to remove limiting beliefs, release trapped emotion and connect to your zone of genius.
When I am not seeing clients, I love spending time with my wife and son, enjoying the outdoors, studying, investing in my own well-being, and embracing the simple things in life. If you feel like we might be a good fit and I could support you, please reach out. I’d love to connect with you!
TATUM MAYERS
My name is Tatum Mayers and I specialize in couples therapy, parenting, premarital counseling, communication, and helping teens.
I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a wide range of clients, from newly postpartum mothers and those navigating substance abuse recovery, to veterans and individuals across all stages of life, children, adolescents and adults.
I specialize in working with adult and teen clients experiencing anxiety and depression. I am also passionate about working with couples and families to strengthen their relationships, better navigate conflict, improve communication and foster trust and intimacy.
My therapeutic approach is holistic, solution-focused, and practical. In our work together, I help my clients move from feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure of where to start, to experiencing more contentment and clarity, and gaining deeper satisfaction in their family relationships. I partner with clients to define measurable, attainable goals for treatment together, to work towards thriving and overall well-being.
I graduated with my Master of Social Work degree from Hawaii Pacific University, and draw from my educational foundation in social work, as well as my Christian faith background, by leaning into the unique strengths of each client, and utilizing evidence-based approaches to help my clients heal and grow.

QUENTIN HAFNER
My name is Quentin Hafner and I am a coach and therapist to entrepreneurs.
I specialize in helping people solve personal & professional relationship challenges.
I consider being a therapist in Orange County an absolute privilege, and I feel so blessed and honored to be with my clients as I watch them change. My story of becoming a therapist began with my own therapy, so I am fondly aware how special the therapy relationship can be. Prior to working as a therapist, I spent many years in the corporate world before I realized how much I enjoyed helping people – and made the decision to pursue being a therapist. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.
I believe that true, lasting change happens in the context of trusting relationships with another person, and that is what I hope to gain with all my clients. I have spent thousands of hours doing therapy and coaching, and many more thousands of hours learning, reading, and studying. Since completing my Master’s of Science in Clinical Psychology, I have continued my education journey through doctoral level training, workshops, and supervision in depth-oriented therapy and executive coaching. I am a lover of learning and hold onto the value that I can only take my clients as far as I’ve gone myself. That is why I remain in my own therapy too; to continue growing for myself and my clients.
Please reach out if you feel like we would be a good fit, I would love to meet you and learn more about what is going on in your life.
