We get to know the whole person. Instead of seeing problems to fix, we see people in need of remembering they are already whole. Whether you are caught in cycles that leave you exhausted, want better relationships but find them splintering, and/or you find yourself shutting down or shutting off – you don’t have to suffer in silence. Nor do you have to suffer alone. Our identities often intersect with our struggles and our strengths. We'll meet you where you're at, and help you get where you're going. No matter where you are on your journey of becoming – together healing is possible.
Through the use of evidence based interventions you can connect authentically with others, increase tolerance of emotions and engage situations and relationships differently, rediscover your values and purpose, create a life worth living - where you thrive instead of strive, and/or nourish your body without worrying about how or if you're doing it right.
Call or email to schedule your first session! We have worked with families, adolescents and adults in several settings that specialize in eating disorders, trauma, OCD and substance use. We have worked extensively with families of and individuals who are trans and non-binary, as well as people who identify as poly, kink, pansexual, and/or LGB.
