Adult individual therapy
In individual sessions we’ll explore whether your current situation and emotions are shaped by earlier life experiences. This could mean sorting through ways your parents shaped you or how you were impacted by peer groups. We might talk about how you’ve been made to feel you don’t belong because of your race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, political leanings, or other parts of you. Our relationship is really important to this process, so we’ll focus on building trust as we put words to your feelings and experiences. As you grow into the freedom to say anything in this kind of relationship, you can start to feel less anxious or depressed and more alive to life and its possibilities.

Today’s climate crisis is increasingly evident, as natural disasters multiply and temperatures climb. This crisis touches almost everything in our society and on our planet, and it can sometimes feel too large and overwhelming to talk about.
And yet something beautiful can happen when we gather and face it together. Talking together about something this big and existential helps us tap into our deepest vulnerabilities, allowing us to access a profound intimacy that is authentic, nourishing and joyful.
So, regardless of how often you think about the climate crisis, we’d love for you to join us in this Climate Café where we will invite you to share your experiences and feelings about a crisis that affects us all.
Adult process group Therapy
Our relationships affect almost every part of life, and group therapy helps us grow interpersonally in more powerful ways than does individual therapy. When we get feedback from peers in a supportive environment, we feel less alone and learn what connects us to and disconnects us from others. Group helps us understand our reactions, express our feelings more clearly, and practice new ways of being with ourselves and others. It can be easy to feel isolated, misunderstood, or unsure about others; group is one way to discover similarities and come together across differences.

This group is for those who want to feel more confident in relationships, from acquaintances and coworkers to your closest friends and family. It’s for folks who struggle with feeling alone or that they don't belong. It's for those who can get anxious in social settings, who struggle to speak up in groups, or who want to understand why others do what they do. If you relate to this or anything below, reach out. I’d love to talk.

Manipulating others to get one’s needs met

that is, to follow the reflection of other people’s lives.
She wanted too much to live herself.”
