Welcome.
Whether you are taking the first steps in seeking therapy or have a history of mental health care, reaching out to a new clinician can be a difficult and scary experience.

We aim to learn about your struggles and help guide you through these difficult times.

Genuine and Empathic
We are committed to showing up in an authentic way and meeting you where you are in your path to wellness. We strive to provide a non-judgmental space, connect with your lived experiences, and honor difficult emotions. By building a collaborative and trusting bond with you, we can work together towards reaching your identified therapeutic goals.
-
Individualized Care
You are not defined by your diagnosis. You are an individual made up of unique values, experiences, and identities. Our priority is caring for the whole person. We aim to learn about the internal and external factors that make you, you. We will guide you in applying skills that can be adapted across all aspects of your life and help connect you to other resources when needed to bolster our work.

Balance of Acceptance and Change
We believe therapy does not work without taking action-oriented steps in your life outside of the therapy room. Just as important is the ability to acknowledge and give space to your difficult experiences that are often ignored or down-played. Together we will balance both of these approaches so that you can validate yourself and manage your struggles in helpful ways.
