Specialties

  • We help you understand your attachment patterns, learn how to feel secure in yourself, and enjoy healthy relationships. This could be in friendship, dating, long-term relationship, short term dating, monogamous relationships, or polyamorous relationships.

  • We are a trauma-informed practice that utilizes a variety of modalities to best serve you in healing trauma wounding. We pull from EMDR, art therapy, somatic therapy, contemplative practices, and cutting edge research that incorporates your nervous system in order to best address the roots of traumatic experience. We also take a culturally informed approach, recognizing how various forms of oppression can impact our clients. We seek to provide an empowered approach to navigating difficulty realities while understanding the real challenges that exist outside of the therapy space.

  • While we are open to everyone, we specialize in LGBTQ+ or queer clients. Our clinicians are either LGBTQ+ identified themselves or queer allied with ongoing education on how to best serve our clients.

  • We love supporting folks in gaining self-awareness, building self-compassion, visioning aligned goals, and moving through obstacles or fears that keep them from reaching their potentials. Therapy can be about self-discovery and expanding into new possibilitlies.

  • LGBTQ+ folks often have a complex relationship to spirituality or religion. Many may have even had traumatic or rejecting experiences that have left them cut off from any form of spirituality. We are interested in supporting you in healing from religious wounding, deciding if spirituality or religion is right for you in any way, and finding meaning or purpose that feels genuine to you.
