Starting therapy can feel scary. Our goal is to make it less so. We believe that looking inward is an act of courage, and we're honored to be a part of this journey. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, addiction, life transitions, or relationship challenges, we provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore these issues, develop new strategies to address them, and move you towards a life that feels valuable and meaningful to you.
What sets our practice apart is our commitment to building genuine connections. This means offering skilled clinicians, flexible scheduling options, authenticity, and responsiveness to your needs. We work collaboratively and want to understand your unique experiences and therapy goals.
We'd love to meet you. If it's your first step into therapy, or you've done some work already, we're here to walk alongside you.
