“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

Therapy can help, and we’ll 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 on your own but that your ongoing issues don’t improve? Couples counseling can be incredibly useful in understanding individual and relational patterns that may have once been helpful, but no longer serve us. Together we can identify these patterns, more deeply understand where/why reactivity comes in, and work to shift your patterns so that you find more compassion, happiness, understanding, and connection….in whichever direction your relationship is moving.

If you feel that anxiety is causing you pain and suffering, you’re not alone. Happily, we have many methods to help you work through your anxiety and start to live from a place of increased peace and freedom.
