Our Team

We are an experientially-based practice and believe that we need to get out of our heads and into our hearts to heal and grow. Our Healing Therapy uses cognitively-based, research-backed therapies (like CBT) which we deepen with mindfulness. We believe we create more energy and movement when therapist and client work together rather than working alone. Undoing aloneness makes it easier for you to take a step towards a new perspective, change and growth.

We specialize in addressing relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and work-life balance. We’re unique in our Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Intensive Therapy and Financial Therapy offerings. As a practice, we support professional learning and continuing training so we can continue to grow.
