Explore feelings related to divorce and breakups, develop supportive relationships, receive encouragement, and gain new perspectives in a save and confidential environment. This is a therapist-led group that provides a space to explore the nature of relational loss, share experiences and gain insight into your own pattens of behavior. This space allows support with other people going through similar experiences.
Do you wonder if therapy will actually make a difference with your anxiety? Have you been in therapy before but it didn't create lasting change? The word "therapy" can cause a lot of different thoughts for people. I believe therapy is a place to understand the different patterns our minds have created to avoid pain. They often work well, but only in the short term. These patterns have usually been created from an earlier time in our life. However, they are now causing us more problems than solutions as adults. Understanding these parts of ourselves can create change that lasts long term and reduce the hamster wheel of anxiety.

Many individuals may not be a fan of therapy, which is okay! It is important to find what works best for an individual, whether it is a mix of talk therapy and exercise, but the main point is to find a healthy way of coping. There is no age limit to being able to come into therapy but glad that an individual can find their way into it; there is a lot of stigma surrounding mental health that is from their upbringing, culture, or background.
Learn and practice mindfulness and body based exercises, meditation and stress reduction techniques. Consistent practice is the key to utilizing these skills in your daily reality.

At some point in life we all need a little help finding our way back to our sense of self and security. Life events, a global pandemic, mental illness, substance abuse, and trauma can take us all off course. Therapy can be what helps to guide us back to our path. I believe healing occurs in the context of human relationships, so I take a relational approach to therapy. Understanding and finding satisfying relationships are vital to our mental health and life quality. Children, adolescents and adults all want to be heard and understood, and therapy can aid in finding emotional connection.
This group is perfect for those who have experienced Interpersonal Violence. This group provides support from others who can identify with your experience and will foster mutual opportunities for healing.

Discernment counseling is a way for couples to look at their options before making a final decision about divorce. It is most appropriate for couples where one partner wants to preserve and repair the relationship and the other is leaning towards ending it. This approach differs from regular marriage counseling in three ways: a) the goal is not to solve problems in the relationship, but to figure out whether the problems can be solved; b) the process involves mainly individual conversations with each partner, since they each have different needs and agendas, and c) it is always short term.

I approach therapy with a compassionate and trauma informed lens, viewing clients as more than what has happened to them. I seek to empower clients to recognize that through conscious awareness, compassion, & acceptance, everything they need is already within. I provide a non-shaming space where I guide clients in reconnecting with their authentic selves and in building a deeper understanding of their internal world. Grounded in attachment theory, I also use a systemic lens which understands the important interplay between human behavior & past and current environmental influences and relationships with family, friends, and culture.
