We specialize in supporting adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. We draw on integrative approaches, meaning we pull from different evidence-informed methods to fit what each person actually needs, rather than applying one rigid framework to everyone we work with.
Our first session is mostly about getting to know each other. We like to allow our clients to take the lead in sharing about themselves and what they’re hoping to get out of therapy, however, we are ready to offer guided questions to assist in getting the conversation flowing if that would be most helpful. There's no pressure to share everything at once. Our goal is for you to leave that first appointment feeling heard and with a clearer sense of what working together could look like.
We work with both adult individuals and others navigating similar concerns.
