Our therapeutic approach
We draw from proven modalities to create customized treatment plans for your unique needs. Our therapies include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process traumatic memories and integrate them into healing narratives.
Mindfulness exercises to manage anxiety through present-moment awareness and acceptance.
Art Therapy to express emotions nonverbally through creative mediums. Somatic Therapy to increase body-mind awareness and process trauma held in the body.
By blending these evidence-based methods, we can personalize your sessions to support you on your journey from pain toward healing.
You are not alone
With loss and/or trauma you can feel stuck or trapped. Feelings of sadness, loss and even rage can be so powerful that you literally can’t imagine ever feeling happy (or even ok) again. While these feelings are entirely valid, there is a path forward. With our guidance and support, you can and will feel whole again.
Come do the work
We create the space. We provide the tools and guidance. But real healing starts when you’re ready to face your pain and sadness. Processing trauma takes courage—some sessions will be difficult. Being present and vulnerable is where healing and hope gain traction.
We’re in this together
Healing takes time, work and patience. There will be plateaus and breakthroughs. Sometimes you may even feel like you’re going backwards. Whatever your healing journey looks like, we will collaborate with you, making you feel seen and supported at every step along the way.
