We are often reminded of the importance of pursuing constant personal and professional growth. We believe there is always more that can be learned from our past and present experiences in both our failures and our successes.
We believe creating a collaborative therapeutic environment in which both the therapist and client can voice their questions, curiosity, concerns, and ideas greatly makes a difference in our client's engagement in therapy and their outcomes.
We have intentionally built an inclusive therapy practice by creating an environment in which all clients feel valued. We honor our clients diverse backgrounds and their unique life experiences, creating a safe space for them to share, grow, and heal.
