*Currently accepting new clients - SELF-PAY ONLY* Our practice specializes in the treatment of trauma and addiction. We view anxiety, depression, mood instability, codependence, chemical and process addictions, relationship discord, anger, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and emotional sensitivity as an indication of where a person lives in their nervous system. By working with the natural inclination of the nervous system to heal, we support individuals in overcoming their symptoms and connecting to their deeper selves.

We are living in incredibly trying times. We won't find the answers to this distress through the news or social media. We have to look beyond the constant influx of outside messages and search for meaning within ourselves. And, we can find the tools to do this in ways that speak to each of us individually. This ability to turn inward helps us make more freeing choices and gives us the wisdom to navigate the outside world.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

Being at peace with yourself is not easy. Showing yourself the kindness you easily give to others can be extremely challenging. This is especially true if you are accustomed to anticipating the needs of others before acknowledging your own. You may find that your sense of worthiness depends on how useful you are to others. The beautiful thing is: you are enough already. Self-acceptance and self-compassion are common goals I work toward with clients. These practices are essential to create a stronger, more loving relationship with yourself.
