It can be a hard decision to make to decide that you need to talk with someone, and be just as daunting to actually make that first appointment. You want someone who will be understanding and insightful, as well as challenging. You want someone who will be empathic and knowledgeable, with whom you can feel comfortable to talk, and know that you're speaking in confidence.

Psychotherapy is a process of slowing down and working together to understand what has been troubling you. The type of therapy I practice is grounded in making sense of how past relationships, experiences, and identities are impacting you in the here and now. The patient-therapist relationship becomes our primary source for understanding your patterns in other relationships and I strive to create a therapy relationship that fosters curiosity, vulnerability, and growth.

Our therapists create a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences related to women's health issues.

Somatic work allows clients to connect with their bodies and release tension and trauma stored in their physical form. By focusing on strengthening the mind-body connection, our therapists empower clients to cultivate resilience and promote holistic well-being.
