We are real people navigating this funny world alongside you.

We bring our whole selves into session—training, insight, lived experience, even our own struggles and growth. We know what it’s like to navigate pain, because we’ve been there too. That’s why we show up not just as professionals, but as real humans—compassionate, attuned, and deeply committed to your healing.

Our therapists are equipped to support a wide range of challenges, including burnout, pregnancy and infertility, trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, and loss. We draw from a range of research-backed approaches like Somatic Experiencing, CBT, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, ERP, and more.
