Our Approach

Our approach to therapy is tailored to each individual's unique needs and circumstances. We draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including insight-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-oriented therapy methods. We also incorporate aspects of Somatic Experiencing (SE), a technique that focuses on enhancing the body's natural ability to regulate stress and trauma.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services designed to address specific concerns and goals. These include:

Managing Anxiety: For individuals who struggle with excessive worrying and over-thinking, we provide a unique, body-based approach to help manage anxiety and reduce the negative impact it may have on daily life.

Transitions: Whether facing major life changes, such as a career shift or the loss of a loved one, our therapy can help individuals navigate the challenges and emotional fluctuations that come with transition.

Differently Wired/Highly Sensitive People: For those who identify as highly sensitive or gifted, our therapy can help identify and develop coping strategies to maximize strengths and mitigate the challenges that come with being differently wired.

Managing Depression: Our approach to managing depression is centered around a body-based understanding of the condition and offers a unique, non-judgmental approach to reducing symptoms and improving overall well-being.

Overcoming Developmental Trauma: For those who have experienced emotional neglect or abuse, our therapy can help individuals develop healthy adult relationships and establish boundaries necessary for a fulfilling life.

Coping with Chronic Illness and Auto-Immune Conditions: Our approach recognizes the unique challenges associated with chronic illness and offers a supportive and non-pathologizing environment for individuals to explore their experiences.

Couples Work: For couples seeking to strengthen their relationships, our therapy focuses on restoring safety, connection, and awareness of separateness to resolve conflicts and improve overall communication.

With our experienced and compassionate approach, we strive to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We are committed to helping individuals develop the tools and strategies necessary to overcome life's challenges and achieve their personal growth goals.
