Approachable Therapy to Help You Cope with the Hard Stuff
Individual Therapy
Our first and utmost priority is to create a deep and meaningful relationship with you. Imagine a dedicated, warm, and supportive place for you to show up exactly as you are – no fixing, no judging, no shaming, no lecturing. We hold the space for you to tell your story at your own pace, and we listen in a way that you may not have experienced before – one that feels validating, empowering, and authentic. We use a combination of approaches including psychodynamic psychotherapy, internal family systems, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness to provide both in the moment relief, and safety for out of the moment exploration and growth.
This is for you if:
You want an individualized and relatable approach that will help you connect with and understand yourself with curiosity, fostering the relief and lasting change you deserve
You want to learn techniques that you can implement immediately to use when things feel intolerable
You’re curious about processing and making sense of what’s happened before that still impacts the present
You want to access the real you – the person inside of you that’s confident, calm, and compassionate (YES - that exists in everyone!)

Our Specialties
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel completely overwhelming and all consuming – like the world is closing in on you and you just want to jump out of your skin. Even on “good” days, it can feel like a constant background buzz of thoughts, worry, and self-doubt. It often shows up in our bodies (heart racing, stomach churning, headaches, running to bathroom, shakiness – the list goes on and on!), in our minds (what if thoughts, anyone?), in our relationships (are they mad at me? Maybe I should just stay home..), and in our feelings (loneliness, sadness, worry, overwhelm on repeat).
If you’re reading this, our guess is that you or someone you love is feeling one or all of the above and looking for some relief. Maybe this is your first time considering therapy or you’ve tried before and haven’t gotten what you’re hoping for. Regardless, you’re in the right place and we can help.
Coping with Cancer & Illness
Serious illness impacts everything. Not only is treatment logistically, physically and financially demanding, but relationships shift and emotions change constantly. It all feels hard and overwhelming and terrifying and so, so different from how your life was before. Your perspective is different. Your needs and wants and hopes are different. You feel different; you are different now. You’re not alone – and we’re honored you found your way here. If you’re reading this, we imagine that you’re looking for some help navigating all of these changes. Whether you’re in the throes of active treatment, many years into survivorship, or facing death, your story matters and (of course) influences your day to day.
Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space for you to find tangible ways to feasibly cope with and make sense of this new reality. We won’t try to make you think “positively” or change the way that you feel. You won’t have to explain the nuances or medical terminology, or feel like you have to convince us of how hard things feel. Instead, we’ll work with you to understand how illness has and continues to impact you, and we’ll offer actionable strategies to help you manage the most challenging moments on this journey. Our goal is to give you the room to truly feel seen, heard, understood, accepted, and less alone.

Grief & Loss
“Where there is deep grief, there is deep love.”
Grief is perhaps the heaviest emotion we experience as individuals, because it never leaves us. Through time, grief evolves and changes as we learn who we are in the context of profound loss. Our approach centers around our belief that: your grief always makes sense, there is nothing wrong with you for experiencing grief in all its iterations, grief is not linear or always predictable, and grief is cumulative. In our work together, we will walk the painful and often dark path of grief with you, helping you to connect to and with your grief. We will help you understand and process your loss, learn how to adapt to a ‘new normal’ and when ready, learn how to continue to foster the connection to what or who was lost. Our hope is through our time together, we can help you learn to manage grief in a way that makes it bearable for you.
Parenting
We know from first hand experience that parenting is incredible AND is unequivocally the hardest job there is. There can be joy and conflict, stress and tension, surprise and wonder. Being a parent can also mean having to live with constant worry or feeling like no matter what you do, nothing changes and everything feels like a battle. If that’s you – you’re not alone and we can help.
Certified in Dr. Becky Kennedy’s Good Inside approach, we focus on:
Collaborating as a partner on your parenting team, recognizing that no one knows your child better than you.
Offering actionable strategies to implement immediately so you can feel more confident as the leader of your household.
Shifting perspectives and building a framework that helps you understand your child(ren)’s behavior from a place of curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with your kids and strengthen the parent/child bond.

Executive Functioning
Struggling with executive functioning might look like feelings of overwhelm, tendency to procrastinate or avoid tasks, difficulty with focus, and/or trouble staying organized, managing your time, and prioritizing. Please know that you are not lazy – you are likely managing overwhelm the best way you know how. Building these skills is like strengthening a muscle or starting a new practice. It takes time, repetition, patience, and the right guide to help you with the process.
Through collaborative, warm, and individualized coaching, we’ll work with you to identify your strengths and goals while building a safe relationship with you, getting to know the real you. We’ll then work to create systems that you can actually maintain to help make your life feel more efficient and less chaotic. We often work on the intersection of executive functioning struggles with anxiety, ADHD, shame, and relational challenges – offering not only easy to implement tools but also the understanding and foundation for lasting change.
