Getting started in therapy can feel like a challenging first step to feeling better. At our practice, we strive to make this a smooth transition where you will feel heard and understood. Our primary goal is focused on developing and maintaining a safe, open, empathetic, and trusting dynamic with each client. Together we can move through difficult or challenging life experiences in a warm and accessible way.
Our clinicians specialize in both art therapy and talk-based counseling approaches. Our style is active, direct, non-judgmental, and uniquely tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual. We help clients to address and effectively navigate barriers with compassion and empathy. We strive for clients to feel more empowered and less alone.
We specialize in working with young adults/adults navigating difficult life transitions or identity exploration, individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, shame, feelings of unworthiness or setting boundaries, and those looking to understand and shift detrimental patterns of behavior developed in response to trauma.
