Not accepting new clients. We believe each of us has the capacity to truly learn about ourselves through our most challenging experiences. We use life’s challenges to grow into the people we strive to be, however at times these experiences are difficult to navigate independently.

Our eclectic and client specific approach, allows us to meet clients where they are and develop a treatment plan to best fit their needs/goals.

Research has shown that people don't learn from people they don't like. Effective therapy evolves if the person seeking help likes the helper and experiences the helper as empathic, humble, competent, humorous and caring. Therapy is a respectful, mutually active endeavor between the helper and the patient in which the client feels comfortable, safe, and confident. Constructive therapy gives clients hope: that they will experience increasing well-being; that they will enhance their quality of life; that their social relationships will improve; and they will feel greater congruence between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.
