We support adults in moving from anxiety and self-doubt to confidence, self-compassion, and a grounded sense of self—honoring each person’s unique story, strengths, and lived experience.

Our work is rooted in cultural humility, inclusivity, and a deep respect for the intersecting identities that shape how we experience the world. We understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all, and we strive to create a space where all parts of you feel seen, valued, and safe.

We commonly work with challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma (including generational, relational, and complex trauma), life transitions, grief and loss, relationship and family dynamics, perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and multicultural identity issues.

In individual therapy with us, you will:

🌱 Identify and shift old narratives that no longer serve you
🌱 Reconnect with parts of yourself that have been overlooked
🌱 Deepen your connection with yourself and others
🌱 Care for your relationships without losing yourself
🌱 Develop healthier, more sustainable coping tools
🌱 Cultivate inner calm and resilience
🌱 Heal attachment wounds through inner child work
🌱 Navigate grief with compassion, presence, and self-acceptance
🌱 Build the courage and confidence to create meaningful, values-aligned change

We believe that healing is a reclaiming of voice, power, and possibility—and we are here to walk alongside you in that process.

We help couples move from conflict and disconnection to trust and intimacy, and mutual understanding. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and The Gottman Method, we guide couples in identifying the negative pattern that keeps them stuck and in exploring new ways to reconnect and repair.

Our approach is grounded in cultural humility, inclusion, and a deep respect for the unique dynamics each relationship holds. We welcome couples of all backgrounds, orientations, and cultural experiences—and are especially attuned to the nuanced experiences of interracial and intercultural couples navigating differences in communication styles, values, expectations, and family or societal pressures. We strive to create a space where both partners feel safe, heard, respected, and empowered to grow together.

We work with couples who are both committed to improving their relationship and are open to new perspectives. Common challenges we help with include communication issues, cultural differences, life transitions (e.g., marriage, parenthood, shifting roles), family dynamics, and shared grief or loss.

Please note: We do not work with couples experiencing domestic violence, active addiction, ongoing affairs, or those in the process of separation or divorce. Our No Secrets Policy applies to all couples work.

In couples therapy with us, you will:

🌱 Identify the cycle that fuels disconnection
🌱 Understand unspoken expectations and cultural assumptions that create tension
🌱 Improve communication and strengthen repair skills
🌱 Learn how to support one another even with different coping styles
🌱 Rebuild emotional connection and trust
🌱 Strengthen your bond while honoring your individuality
🌱 Learn to “relationship” with more intention, care, and clarity

We believe that relationships can be powerful spaces for healing, connection, and growth. We’re here to support you in building a relationship that reflects your shared values, honors your differences, and strengthens your connection.
