Specialties
While each of our clinicians has their own unique areas of focus and style, our team is united in using integrative treatment approaches tailored to you, combining open-ended exploratory approaches with more structured skills-based techniques to meet you wherever you need us to.
Our commitment to relationship-building, evidence-based treatment, and trauma-informed techniques makes us the best suited to meeting you at your growth edges, whether we are your first or fifteenth experience with psychotherapy.
Anxiety
Anxiety disorders happen when we underestimate our strengths and overestimate threats in our environment. Sometimes we need to build up your skills and uncover your strength, and sometimes we need to deconstruct the stories of what you fear most. Whichever path we take together, we can find ways to help you change your relationship to fear and stress.
Relationships
Even the most thoughtful, capable adults can feel stuck in relationship patterns that leave them drained, confused, or unfulfilled. You might find it hard to trust others, struggle with boundaries, or feel responsible for other people’s feelings. These patterns often have deep roots in family history or past experiences, and while they once helped you cope, they may now be getting in the way of the connections you long for. In therapy, we’ll bring awareness to how you show up in relationships and experiment with new ways of being that allow for more balance, authenticity, and mutual care.
Depression
Most of our clients have experienced some form of depression, 'going through the motions,' or disinterest in things they used to care about. They often feel a sense of 'worthlessness' or feel that they don't belong. We believe depression is what happens when you learn to stifle your anger and unconsciously redirect it toward yourself. We work with you to uncover the source and help you feel what you need to heal to move on.
Identity and Transitions
Life transitions, whether moving to a new city, shifting careers, or stepping into a new role in family or community, can bring up profound questions about who you are, what's important to you, and how you want to live. Therapy can provide a steady space to explore these questions, to notice the stories you’ve inherited about your worth, and to feel closer to your authentic self.
Trauma/CPTSD
Trauma can leave you feeling isolated and at odds with your own body and mind. The body's responses to trauma, like staying on guard or avoiding painful emotions, are often misunderstood, but they're natural ways of trying to cope. When significant relationships are a consistent source of stress or disappointment, we can develop a 'complex PTSD' response, which can make it harder to trust or feel supported in relationships. In therapy, we'll work together to learn the language of your nervous system and and help you to work with (rather than against) your emotions to rebuild a sense of internal safety and connection.
