Depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic rage, disconnection or pain from our body, and other symptoms may find us, demanding to be heard.
For many, our diagnoses, traumas, and stories may feel inextricably tied to our identities. Leaving these entanglements without support can feel almost impossible.
Walking into a supportive therapeutic space, we learn how to reframe diagnoses from something debilitating to an attempt by our system to regulate and heal from pain.
A therapist can help us to see how the past affects our present, tap into the complexity of our origin stories, and make connections that allow us to better recognize old patterns of thinking in need of reframing.

How We Can Help
Change is a reliable constant. And, it often brings up challenging feelings that require support. Career changes, relationship shifts, grieving the loss of a parent or friend, or stepping into a new chapter of your life — these milestones are par for the course of living. We support you in finding an internal sense of stability that will hold you through it all.
Trauma can happen to anyone. It often involves a singular or multiple deeply impactful events which exceed our nervous system’s capacity to process and integrate. Therapy can be a key component in healing from trauma, as it allows the individual to slowly titrate compressed responses and complete the healing process within a safe environment. While trauma can affect all aspects of our life, so too can healing from it. The ripple effects can be transformative — improved moods, increased stability, healthier relationships, and the ability to be fully present for one’s life.
Our mental health sets the tone for our life experience. Navigating persistent anxiety, depressive lows, or emotional swings can compound the challenges of daily living and lead to rupture if left unchecked. Through the therapeutic process, root causes of our struggles can be brought to light. From there, cultivating tools for regulation becomes possible, and a sense of groundedness becomes sustainable.
Self worth is often initially shaped by the messages we receive over time. As multifaceted, complex creatures, it is almost inevitable that some parts of our identities will be hidden away or put down in the face of what bell hooks calls the “imperialist white supremecist capitalist heteropatriarchy (now that’s a mouthful!)” Therapy calls for reconnecting with our inherent value. Easier said than done, this practice of rebuilding one’s self worth takes just that — practice.
Who am I? We return to this question again and again throughout our lives, and the answer is ever-evolving. Questioning long-held beliefs, exploring gender and sexuality, integrating our sexual selves, or simply feeling unmoored from a clear sense of self can be an exciting and daunting experience. Moving through these questions alongside a therapist can help you find clarity — or simply go from “Oh no, what’s going to happen?!,” to, “Wow, I wonder what’s going to happen!”
It’s not linear. And it takes many forms. Death, breakups, lost parts of self, changes in environment. Without rushing towards closure, and with respect for dynamism, working with a therapist through your grieving process often involves honoring your loss and finding a gentle, meaningful way forward.
Roles! Neglect! Manipulation! Oh my! Complex or not, family dynamics shape our earliest relational patterns. As we create our own families, patterns set in childhood can become sources of love, pain, obligation, and everything in between. When the net of complex family dynamics becomes entangled, a therapist can help you cut damaged cords and straighten out the kinks (making sure to keep the ones that turn us on). Regardless of family members’ willingness to join you in a healing process, inner work can offer a boon of empowerment.
Something’s gotta give. When even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming and exhaustion is pervasive, it can be extremely challenging to live a life that feels fulfilling and joyous. Burnout is a signal that things need to change. Working with a therapist signals a commitment to building a more sustainable life. Together, you can discover what needs letting go and what deserves your complete presence.
Meaning. It drives our daily actions and reminds us of our “why.” We welcome all walks towards spirituality and meaning making whether religious, secular, or somewhere in between. The role of the therapist in navigating these questions is to hold space for your exploration with curiosity and care — not to provide answers, but to offer possibilities and to support you in uncovering your own way through.
and more.
