Meet  Our Therapy Team

Our therapy team has extensive and diverse clinical experience, and a human-first, down to earth approach. We can support you with a safe space to process and integrate past trauma, regulate your nervous system, explore your values and relationships, learn skills and strategies to help you navigate the challenges of life, connect with your sense of self through life transitions, feel validated, seen and heard, and ultimately, move with more curiosity, presence and compassion.

Finding the right fit is important! That's why we offer free consultations for you to connect with your potential therapist and answer any questions you may have. Click on our profiles to learn more about us!
