My hope is to continue helping others find their way along these roads with strength, courage, renewed optimism and self awareness.

Hi, I'm Konika McPherson, LMFT

I’m passionate about maternal health, family-, and relationship dynamics, especially in a multicultural context.

I have decades of experience in mental health and a trauma informed approach, as well as personal experiences of having a baby that didn't fit the textbooks. Add on my own bi-cultural background, I see the therapeutic process through a unique lens.

I work from a holistic perspective, considering the importance of all facets of a person and their experiences, including physical, emotional, mental, psychosocial and spiritual.

Together, we work on strategies that allow you to discover the root causes of your situation and find healthier solutions and meaningful connections.
