Our Approach to Helping

Our approach is both intuitive and intentional—collaborative in spirit and rooted in the belief that healing is most powerful when it’s shared.

Our team of dedicated therapists brings a wide range of expertise, offering specialized care in trauma, social justice, multicultural identity, LGBTQIA+ identities, anxiety, grief and loss, suicide prevention, domestic violence, and relationship repair.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Attachment Theory External link

    Having training in attachment theory serves as a solid foundation for understanding client’s development of maladaptive coping strategies and how this relates to the client’s emotional difficulties. Using this therapy, we can help clients increase self-compassion and kindness because clients who have attachment disorders/wounds often develop a negative self-view of themselves and others.

  • Emotionally Focused External link

    We have seen the benefits of deep work to heal trauma and various other human concerns. It helps individuals accept, regulate, express, & bring awareness of the complexity of human emotions. Understanding emotions help guides us to our needs or wants.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) External link

    Our clinic employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide clients in embracing their emotions, clarifying values, and committing to positive actions. Through mindfulness and acceptance techniques, clients learn to manage distress, cultivate psychological flexibility, and align their actions with their values, ultimately leading to improved well-being and a more fulfilling life journey.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Loss or Grief External link

    Death & bereavement are universally inescapable events that we all have faced. Individuals may experience suicidal thoughts, numbness, or the disconnection, which often interferes with daily activities. What we do with the grief transition either gives us strength or hinders us from fulfilling our goals.  Our counseling clinic offers compassionate support for loss and grief, providing a safe space to process emotions, cope with the pain, and find ways to heal and rebuild life after loss.

  • Relationship / Marriage Issues External link

    Conflicts may arise at any stage in a relationship. Sometimes these conflicts grow in complexity despite our best efforts to resolve them on our own. Whether you’re a in new relationship, married, or facing separation, we can work with you to navigate and resolve the challenges you are facing. Our counseling clinic restores relationships through expert guidance, fostering understanding, effective communication, and renewed emotional connection.

  • Abuse External link

    Victims often feel they are being degraded and often don’t feel their abusers see their innate worth as a human being. The abuse often centers around control and they will use many harmful techniques to maintain and/or gain control over their victims. Our clinicians have training and experience working with all forms of abuse and together we can create a safe space for you and break the cycle of violence.

  • Anxiety External link

    Healthy anxiety keeps us stay alert, tune into our surroundings, and does not interfere with our lives. Unhealthy anxiety is present even if there is not a perceived threat. It disrupts your life, & creates isolation. We firmly believe that you are unique, deserve a plan that is realistic, & will result in the highest level of recovery. Our clinic offers effective anxiety support through therapy, coping strategies, and personalized guidance, helping you regain control and find relief.

  • Coronavirus/COVID-19 External link
