I was both the traditional and non-traditional student in my college career that struggled with balancing it all; work, social life, trying to be healthy, get good grades and discovery myself. I wish I knew then what I know now and that is, you may not need to balance but distribute, prioritize, and compartmentalize! We are not just a "talk therapy" practice, we believe in providing tools and skills to get through the life YOU want effectively. Let us help you discover your journey that aligns ...

Through 19 years of practice I have found that people usually seek therapy because they are experiencing something that is too difficult to bear without additional help and support. Life can seem unjust when bad things happen to good people, or when best efforts are not leading to desired outcomes. These challenges are opportunities for renewal and growth. Especially during a time of crisis or transition, the ability to safely connect and openly share thoughts and feelings, while receiving genui...

Therapy is a space where stories unfold and evolve. The stories we create about ourselves and our experiences shape how we understand our lives and the world around us. These stories can offer us comfort and strength, but at times, they may also bring distress or hold us back from living the life we desire. When we feel stuck in these limiting stories, we can feel hopeless. But together, we can explore these stories—how they’ve impacted you and what they mean. Through this process, we’ll work to...
