OUR SPECIALTIES
Therapy to address stressful or traumatic childhood experiences that are still impacting your life today
Do you struggle to feel confident and connect with people? Do you have difficulty expressing your emotions? Do you find yourself anxiously or avoidantly attached to friends or romantic partners in a way that negatively impacts your relationships?
We have expertise in childhood trauma and believe in a holistic customized approach that targets the root of the problem. While childhood trauma includes extreme experiences such as physical or sexual abuse, violence, and death of a loved one, it also includes any event that was experienced as emotionally painful or distressful.
When we are struggling with relationships with friends, co-workers or romantic partners, it is usually connected to our formative years and relationships with our parents or caregivers. Learning to connect to your inner child and giving “her/they/him” a voice can lessen the charge of past wounds, supporting greater self-compassion and resilience.
Exploring our earlier childhood experiences allows us to understand if and how they are still showing up and impacting our life now. Therapy will help you understand these connections and help you work on healing those earlier experiences so that they remain in the past where they belong.

Trauma, depression, and anxiety do not discriminate. They are universal, human problems. We’re committed to providing anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
Holistic
Through somatic therapy we’ll address physical symptoms showing up in the body, along with inner child work to reacquaint you with the unmet needs of your younger selves, and EMDR which helps reprocess traumatic memories.

Gaining insight into how your upbringing may be impacting your current life gives you agency and allows you to decide what healing looks like for you. We support your self-leadership, so that you can become your own healer and handle whatever life throws you.
