“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl
Welcome! You’re in the right place.
Are you experiencing patterns of relational miscommunication, disconnection, or conflict? Do you have pervasive feelings of anxiety? Do you want to understand yourself and/or your partner more clearly and in greater depth? Perhaps you sense that your past is negatively impacting your current wellbeing, but you aren't quite sure how. Or maybe you find yourself easily activated and wish for more space to respond from a place of self- regulated choice. One thing is certain: you want to feel better. You may want to feel more confidant, connected, and alive in your relationships. You may long to breathe deeply and experience increased ease, relaxation, creativity, and personal agency. Therapy can help, and we can do it together!
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
01
-
Sometimes we need a space entirely dedicated to our own experiences, emotions, and personal development. We need to be met where we are, with empathy, kindness, and curiosity. We may need to work on issues from our past, concerns in the present, or more specific worries like disordered eating. If you’d like to understand yourself more deeply and begin to approach your life from a place of personal choice and increased self- compassion, you’re in the right spot.
02
-
Are you and your partner struggling? Do you find that you try to work things out but that your issues just don’t improve? Couple/relationship counseling can be incredibly useful in understanding relational patterns and emotions that may no longer serve us. Together we can identify these patterns and work to shift your relationship so that you find more compassion, happiness, understanding, and connection….in whichever direction your relationship is moving.
