• Safe and loving relationships are often the thing we humans long for most. Extensive research even shows that positive relationships not only keep us happier but also physically healthier. But relationships are also hard – sometimes really hard. 

• We can help you develop more authentic relationships. Therapy is all about identifying and shifting relationship patterns that keep you stuck. 

• Together, we’ll help you clarify what you want in relationships, learn how to set boundaries, develop new relationships, strengthen the relationships that matter most to you, and overall feel more connected. 

• We tackle relationship concerns through a variety of techniques. Primary approaches include:

  • Attachment-focused Therapy

  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Trauma comes in many forms. Perhaps you’re struggling with anxiety or panic, painful memories, sleeplessness or nightmares, intense feelings such as guilt or shame, being on constant high alert, or a loss of trust. Trauma impacts many areas of life, but there are effective treatments to help you draw on your strengths and feel like yourself again. 

• We offer support for those who have experienced trauma across the spectrum, including abuse, neglect, violence, accidents, illness, transgenerational trauma, grief, and other highly distressing experiences. We also support individuals who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma (C-PTSD). 

• We support you in your recovery process by drawing on:

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

  • Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

  • Attachment-focused Therapy

  • Somatic Approaches

• If you’re seeking neurodivergent-affirming care, meaning a therapeutic approach that recognizes neurodivergence as a natural variation in human brain function, we’d be excited to support you. Our approach to care focuses on understanding and supporting an individual’s unique strengths, needs, and identity.

• Similarly, we offer affirming care for clients of all genders and sexualities. LGBTQIA+ affirming care is attentive to the stigma and stress you may experience and works to prioritize creating a safe environment to explore gender identity, role, and expression; cope with dysphoria and stigma; have support through the coming out process; and increase queer joy.

• Do you sometimes feel like your emotions take over and run the show? Or do you struggle to identify what you are feeling and what those feelings are trying to communicate to you? Perhaps you struggle to convey your emotions to others? Emotions are an essential part of the human experience, but they can also feel overwhelming, confusing, or painful. 

• We offer not only empathy and validation but also practical skills for managing emotions. Learning skills and having support in implementing them in your life can help you feel empowered and like you’re in control, rather than letting your emotions dictate your actions. 

• Sometimes people experience such intense emotions that they have thoughts of suicide or engage in self-harm behaviors such as cutting. We also offer strategies and skills to help you reduce those experiences. 

• When building skills is your primary goal, we often start with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT helps individuals develop skills in four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

A particularly unique offering of our practice is expert support for individuals who may be diagnosed with schizophrenia or other psychosis-related concerns. 

• We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), the leading treatment for psychosis-related concerns. We also integrate other approaches with CBTp to help you achieve a wide range of goals.

• We offer support to those experiencing chronic illness or the physical impacts of life transitions. We are particularly good at supporting chronically ill individuals struggling with symptoms related to POTS, symptomatic hypermobility, and hEDS. Additionally, when life transitions impact how you feel, such as menopause, we’re also here to offer support.
