“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

A Modern Approach
In therapy, we place a strong emphasis on improving interpersonal relationships, as we understand that life’s unpredictability can at times strain the bonds we share with others. Together, we will explore the art of setting boundaries, in addition to working on refining your communication skills. Therapy helps you to identify and directly express your needs, thoughts and emotions with the goal being to nurture healthy, meaningful relationships.
Relationships
We understand that a complicated family upbringing or a tumultuous family life can profoundly impact one’s emotional well being, feelings of safety, decisions within relationships and one’s overall sense of self. We are here to listen as you navigate through further understanding your familial context, dynamics, history, and often intergenerational trauma. Our role in the process of family-focused therapy is to empower you, providing you with tools to improve your family relations and to establish boundaries when needed.

Substance Use Recovery
Overcoming struggles with substance abuse requires a multifaceted lens and a nonjudgmental, holistic approach that uplifts and inspires hope in each individual. Whether you are considering sobriety, harm reduction or a unique blend, we encourage exploration of the root causes, triggers, and mental health challenges involved. Therapy with the focus on recovery invites finding new pathways for practicing coping strategies for improved wellness, nurturing your ability to healthfully tolerate wide ranging emotions and establish a supportive community of likeminded allies to promote lasting change.
Life Transitions
We recognize that pivotal life moments, such as moving, losing a loved one, dealing with health issues, enduring relationship changes, career shifts, traumatic events, and other significant occurrences, can evoke a myriad of overwhelming feelings. We are here to guide you through these transitions and explore fresh avenues for personal development under such circumstances— the process is tailored for each person and may include learning stress management techniques and leaning into what matters most in your life to enable you to experience transitions with ease and grace.
