You can thrive in school as well as your social life, confidence, and personal growth.

Being a good student might involve being smart, taking challenging classes, and getting good grades...

...but it doesn't necessarily mean that you're enjoying the confidence, happiness, and friendships that you want.

Don't worry. You don't have to go it alone.

Therapy can provide you with a safe, judgment-free zone to heal, process, and grow in the ways you want to.

You can thrive in school as well as your social life, confidence, and personal growth.

As time goes on, I am learning, managing, and beginning to truly thrive... I'm really proud of myself for this too, and I couldn't have gotten to this point without all your support over the years.

High school and college should be some of your best memories.

Anxiety, depression, or trauma should not be a main character in your story.

Hi, I'm Dr. Parke!

I'm a psychologist with a special place in my heart for youth mental health.

In therapy, I help smart students heal so they can thrive--especially teens and college students who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma.

My goal is for you to experience more confidence, healing, and purpose in your life.

Together, we'll discover insights so you feel understood, ask questions that help you gain clarity, and use evidence-based tools to empower you.


Being a psychologist is a calling for me, since I've become the person I needed when I was younger.

I trained at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles and have been serving youth and their families since 2005.

I also have ten years' experience as a university professor, so I have deep empathy for the pressures of the school system.

Why do I do what I do? I believe that light dispels darkness, wounds can be healed, pain can shape purpose, and love conquers all.

You can build confidence, be your normal self again, and nurture healthy friendships. Over time, you can heal so you can thrive.

3 Reasons People Enjoy Therapy With Me

My Style is Warm, Gentle, and Thoughtful

People tend to say that they're surprised how much they open up to me, and that they feel more peaceful after we talk. In therapy, I'll listen deeply to you and highlight themes that other people might miss. At the same time, I won't be afraid to challenge you when it would benefit your growth.

I Have a Specialized Set of Skills

Unlike therapists who are generalists, I have highly specialized training in serving youth. That means we'll have comfortable conversations that help you process your emotions, thoughts, decisions, and relationships. It also means I'll integrate powerful evidence-based tools if they're a good fit for your needs and goals.

I Seek Clarity and Focus

When we work together in therapy, I'll ask questions to clarify what we're focusing on both during a session as well as over time. That way sessions are focused on what's most important and relevant to you rather than getting haphazard or meandering.

We are all so very grateful for the strong and stabilizing role you have played in our daughter's life over the years. To say that you mean a great deal to her is truly an understatement. Just knowing you are "there" for her brings her comfort.  She respects and values your insights and perspectives so much (as do we), and I could not be happier that she has you to turn to as she navigates life. You have truly been a gift.
