Individual Therapy:

Come as you are; become the person you want to be

In an environment of warmth, care and gentle challenge, we will help you change unhelpful patterns, improve relationships, cope with emotions, and live life more fully.  Together, we will implement strategies that are research-based and marvel at your progress as you move towards a more abundant, authentic and joyful life. 

We know that healing must extend beyond your thoughts and feelings to include your physical self. Our clients learn to partner with their bodies - symptoms that are traditionally pathologized are often our bodies way of calling attention to areas of our lives that need attention. Rather than resisting these messages, we can learn to befriend them and increase our mind-body connection, soothe our nervous systems, and break free of oppressive cultural belief systems. We teach clients to find safety in their own bodies, connect with the breath, and relax the nervous system through practices such as: Parts Work/IFS, mindfulness, yoga, guided breathing, and EMDR.

Trauma Therapy:

Places of refuge do exist. Healing is possible.

Every life is challenged by scary and stressful experiences. People recover from trauma when they receive effective treatment.

In a supportive and safe environment, clients heal through creating new meaning from traumatic memories and becoming the hero of their own stories.
