Attachment Theory

Our early relationships shape how we connect with ourselves and others. Attachment-based therapy explores these patterns and how they may be impacting your current relationships. We’ll work to create a stronger sense of security and trust, both in your connections with others and in your relationship with yourself.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps you recognize the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck and find ways to shift them. You’ll learn practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, approach situations differently, and create changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.

Mindfulness-based

Mindfulness helps you slow down and become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations without judgment. In our sessions, you’ll practice bringing your attention to the present moment, which can ease anxiety, reduce stress, and help you respond to challenges with more clarity and self-compassion.

Somatic Therapy (Body Centered)

Your body holds experiences that words can’t always capture. Somatic therapy helps you notice and understand the ways stress, trauma, or emotions show up physically. Together, we’ll explore these signals with curiosity and compassion, so you can release what’s been held and feel more connected to yourself in both body and mind.

Expressive Art Therapy

Sometimes it’s easier to express what you feel through creativity rather than conversation alone. Expressive therapy uses art, movement, writing, or other creative outlets to help you process emotions and experiences. You don’t need to be an artist, just open to exploring new ways of understanding and expressing yourself.

Anxiety

Anxiety can feel like a constant hum in the background or a wave that takes over. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s fueling your worry, and find ways to feel more grounded in daily life. You’ll have space to explore patterns, build skills, and reconnect with the parts of you that want more ease and steadiness, so daily life feels more intentional and less driven by fear or urgency.

PTSD

Trauma can change how you see yourself and move through the world. Here, your pace, safety, and voice guide the process. We’ll work to understand how the past still shows up for you and explore ways to shift those patterns. You’ll have support to reclaim parts of yourself that have been silenced, so you can engage with life from a place that feels safer and more fully your own.

LGBTQ Issues

You deserve therapy where your identity is seen, affirmed, and understood. Whether you’re exploring who you are, navigating relationships, or dealing with the impact of bias, you’ll find space here to bring your whole self. We’ll focus on building a stronger sense of self and belonging, while supporting you in living in ways that feel true to who you are or who you’re becoming.

Chronic Pain or Illness

Chronic pain or illness can impact more than your body. It can shape your identity, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we’ll acknowledge the full impact of your experience while exploring ways to manage the emotional and mental toll. You’ll have space to honor what you’ve been carrying and to build a life that reflects your needs without losing sight of your hopes.

Depression

Depression can make even the smallest tasks feel heavy. In our work together, you can speak openly about what you’re feeling and how it’s affecting you, without pressure to have it all figured out. We’ll look at what’s contributing to the weight you’re carrying and explore ways to reconnect with parts of yourself that can hold meaning, direction, and a sense of possibility.
