Our lives are often defined by systems and structures that were designed to be predictable and one-size-fits-all. You may be starting to recognize that these patterns don’t fit, or worse yet, tell you there’s something wrong with you, or someone you care about. Your mind (or theirs) may work differently than others, or your life may have taken an unexpected turn, leaving you unsure of what comes next.
We’re here to walk alongside you on your unique life path. We focus on identifying and understanding old patterns, building resilience and hope, and embracing the uncertainty and inevitable changes that life throws our way. Together, we’ll find who you are - and who you can be - when you step outside of what is expected.
We are a neuroaffirming therapy practice specializing in clients whose minds, or lives, diverge from what is traditionally expected. Many of our clients are creative, neurodivergent or adjusting to an unexpected change in their lives. Our mission is to help you embrace, navigate and master your non-linear path. We help you find, not fix, who you are.

We specialize in working with anyone who has come up against society's idealized version of who we should be - whether it is because of who we are, how we think, or the path our lives have taken. Our clients gain clarity, find creative ways to navigate challenges, and learn to question the idea of 'normal' that can keep us feeling stuck or ashamed.
