Areas of Focus
Neurodivergence
Living as a neurodivergent person (Autism, ADHD, Learning Difference, etc.) can feel like moving between overwhelm and shutdown, while trying to hold identity, self-worth, and constant masking. We support you in navigating the overlap with BPD traits, and working through shame, self-criticism, emotional numbness, and patterns like perfectionism, procrastination, and paralysis, while building nervous system regulation and stability.
Anxiety & Depression
Feeling stuck between wanting connection and fearing rejection, often leading to loneliness, isolation, and social shutdown. We support you in working through fear of judgment and abandonment, flight/freeze responses, and the pressure to fit in, while building safer ways to connect.
Abusive Relationship
We support healing from relational, attachment, and sexual abuse trauma, including PTSD. Together, we work to understand how past experiences continue to show up in emotions, relationships, and the body, and help you build safety, clarity, and a more grounded sense of the present.
Family Dynamics
Exploring child–parent (including adult children) relationships shaped by emotional distance, misunderstandings, and unmet needs. Focus is placed on improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and creating opportunities for repair and more connected relationships.
Childhood Trauma
Exploring how early experiences of instability (i.e., intergenerational trauma, frequent moves, parental separation, or financial hardship) can shape current emotional patterns, relationships, and ways of coping in adulthood.
Self-Work
Experiences of criticism, rejection, or feeling that you are not good enough can lead to persistent shame, self-criticism, and difficulty accepting yourself. Therapy helps explore the roots of shame, develop self-compassion, and build a more accepting relationship with yourself.
There are no bad parts.When we can listen to our parts with compassion, they can transform.
– Richard C. Schwartz (IFS Founder)

Emotionally-Focused Therapy
Emotional and behavioral challenges at home or school? We’re here to support both the child and their family through compassionate, collaborative therapy that builds emotional resilience, improves communication, and creates a more connected home environment.
Music Psychotherapy
Sometimes words aren’t enough. Music psychotherapy uses music and creative expression to explore emotions and support healing. No musical experience needed—just a willingness to connect in a new way.

Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
Embrace your unique identity and grow with a neuro-affirming, strengths-based approach that honors who you are—just as you are.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
Challenges during adolescence can create tension at home, leaving teens and parents feeling misunderstood or disconnected. Therapy helps teens and families understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, navigate conflict, and build stronger, more supportive relationships together.
