You deserve a therapist that “gets it.”

  • Individual Counseling

    One on one counseling gives you a safe, private space to unpack life’s challenges—whether you're navigating stress, healing from the past, or just need clarity.

    It’s not about ‘fixing’ you; it’s about helping you find your strength, your voice, and your next steps. You deserve a place to be heard without judgment.

  • Couples Counseling

    Strong relationships take work. If you and your partner are struggling with communication, trust, or intimacy, counseling can help you reconnect and find common ground.

    Getting married? Consider premarital counseling! A strong marriage isn’t just about love—it’s about teamwork, communication, and starting your journey on the same page.

  • Family Counseling

    Families don’t always fit a perfect mold—and that’s okay! Counseling helps blended families, co-parents, and households in transition find common ground, set healthy boundaries, and create a home where everyone feels valued.

    We specialize in helping teens and their parents navigate life together.

Specialties include exploring identity, substance use, ADHD, chronic illness + disability, and grief.

Therapy is for everyone. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’re going through. Together, we’ll work at your pace, with respect for your beliefs and values.

You don’t have to carry everything alone. You can contact us via email, phone or text to ask questions or learn more about the process.

More About Counseling

Counseling is a collaborative process between a trained clinician and an individual looking to explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences. The goal of therapy is to help you better understand yourself, develop coping skills that match your values, and support you through any emotional or mental health challenges you may be facing—such as anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship difficulties.

Ultimately, you decide your goals for therapy and if it’s working for you.

Counseling is not about giving advice or telling you what to do. Instead, it’s about guiding you through your own discoveries, offering insights, and providing support as you make positive changes in your life.

You can start and stop counseling at any time. Comparable to a fitness routine, you might see more dramatic change if you are able to dedicate more time and energy to the process, but there’s no set program to get specific results.

The Process

The therapy process begins with an initial session where you’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and your personal history. This is a time for you to ask questions and decide if the therapist's approach feels like a good fit for you. From there, you’ll work together to create a plan that’s tailored to your unique needs.

In ongoing sessions, you'll have the opportunity to explore what's on your mind, talk about challenges you're facing, and work through any difficult emotions. Your therapist will guide the process, offering new perspectives, coping strategies, and tools to help you move forward. Therapy may last anywhere from a few sessions to months, depending on your goals and progress.

Throughout the process, therapy remains a safe, confidential space where you can be open and honest without judgment, empowering you to gain clarity, heal, and grow.

Intersectionality

Affirming therapy always recognizes the impact of other identities (race, class, gender, etc.) on mental health. This is called “intersectionality” and it’s a crucial part of understanding someone in their specific context. Each of these identities contributes to their unique experiences, challenges, and advantages in life. Only by recognizing and integrating the reality of overlapping identities can therapists best support their client’s pursuit of personal agency, growth and change.

Again, this approach is non-pathologizing. This means we don’t treat people as "disordered" or "abnormal" based on their identity, experiences, or behaviors that deviate from societal norms. This approach challenges the traditional medical model of mental health, which can be limiting and stigmatizing, by recognizing that distress and psychological difficulties often stem from a combination of personal, social, and cultural factors.

In the context of therapy, a non-pathologizing approach involves:

  1. Respect for diversity: Acknowledging and valuing differences in identity, beliefs, and experiences, and understanding that there is no single "normal" or "ideal" way of being.

  2. Contextual understanding: Recognizing the impact of societal factors, such as discrimination, marginalization, and trauma, on an individual's mental health and well-being.

  3. Collaborative exploration: Working together with clients to understand their unique experiences and challenges, without imposing pre-determined diagnoses or labels.

  4. Empowerment and self-acceptance: Focusing on clients' strengths and resilience, and promoting self-acceptance, personal growth, and self-determination.
