beginnings


These are the values that guide all aspects of my practice and my roles as therapist and supervisor.

Authenticity

Taking the mystery out of therapy so that what you experience is something genuine and relevant

 

Excellence

 Providing the best standard of care and treating this process with the utmost respect

 

Hospitality

An open invitation to be real and to share as much or as little as you would like;

to know that when you arrive, the time and space is prepared for you

 

Transformation

Experiencing healing because of what you invest in this process; 

that relationships would be rebuilt and hope would be renewed

 

Wholeness

Finding that the growth you experience in our work together begins to spread and affect all areas of life

 

Come on in- how can I help?

Some different options about where we can start

Learning why we feel disconnected, and creating new ways of being with each other

Individual Therapy

 

Discovering and developing what it's like to have a relationship with yourself

Family Therapy

 

Finding out why we don't get along, and figuring out how we can be a family

Helping kids use play to feel safe and strong, especially when bad things happen
