Our goal is to create a warm, genuine working alliance with each and every client. A caring human connection makes exploring challenging topics possible.
We celebrate diversity. All identities, backgrounds, orientations, and relationship preferences— monogamous and polyamorous— are welcome. We prioritize Feminist, Queer, Multicultural perspectives.
Our approach is practical, holistic, and deeply compassionate. Witnessing and providing an empathetic presence, while co-creating an authentic therapeutic connection, is central to our offering. You will be listened to, heard, and offered ways of engaging that make a difference.

Helping folks find ways forward from feeling stuck is our specialty. We believe that the struggle and the pain seek to be understood so that they can be transformed.
We view life transitions, trauma, grief, and mental health through a lens of compassionate inquiry. This allows each state to be welcomed, accepted, and understood more deeply.
We are here to hear your story, see your strength, and foster your creativity. As we explore together, insight may emerge. After such ‘A-HA’ moments, anything could happen!
Welcome!
We offer a caring, non-judgmental, confidential space, with radically open minds and hearts.
“If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”
