Work With Us
We aren't just listeners
We live and work by an old Chinese proverb: “tell me, I’ll forget; show me, I’ll remember; involve me, I’ll understand.” We believe in teaching, educating and working with our clients towards action. We understand you might “want” to feel better and that most people experience a block between wanting and taking action. We help our clients to identify the blocks (aka -parts) and how to heal from the inside out.

Our Process
How it Works?
The first meeting will be filled with lots of questions, consents and figuring out what the goals are.
01
Setting Goals
Most of us know we feel uncomfortable on some level. We feel like we’ve tried everything we can think of. It sometimes feels like nothing has worked. When we set goals together we will consider different parts of you that want change, parts that do not want to change and if there was some sort of change what life might be like.
02
Taking Action
Nothing changes, if nothing changes. That’s one of our favorite lines. Taking action can be extremely uncomfortable, you might try and stop and try again. We are here to explore with you the risks and benefits of not changing, of continuing to do exactly what’s always been done. You get to decide how your life goes and we can help you figure out what you want that to look like and how to get there.
We can’t take action for you but we can certainly support your efforts.
03
Reflecting
Right now try this, ask yourself a couple questions:
- Where did you come from?
- How did you get here?
And then acknowledge whatever you’ve been through in your life, you are here right now reading this. You are showing up for yourself. Maybe no one has ever showed up for you and that feels lonely, or unsafe, yet here you are.
It’s so easy to dismiss or minimize our accomplishments. So far you’ve survived all of it.

Self-investment
Attending therapy isn’t about trying to change those who have caused you pain. It’s an investment in yourself. Therapy is about discovering your true self, understanding the origins of your thoughts, recognizing how they influence you, and learning how to manage them effectively.
More Optimism
During this journey, you’ll discover your inner strength. Instead of criticizing yourself, we will help you identify patterns of self-abuse, distrust, and negative self-talk. You’ll learn how to transform these patterns into positive, empowering actions, freeing yourself from limiting beliefs about who you are.
Authentic Self
Constantly wishing you had done things differently keeps you trapped in regret. When you embrace your true, authentic self, you stop worrying about pleasing others. Instead, you fully accept your experiences and walk your path with pride. This radical acceptance empowers you to shape your future and determine what your next chapter will be.
Are You Ready to Change Your Life?
We are here to help you navigate the impact of your past, uncover your patterns, challenge your beliefs, and grow into your true self.
