Our Specialties
While we work with a broad variety of clients and clinical issues, some of the things we are especially known for include…
dismantling the impact of purity culture & religious trauma (including its impact on present-day sexuality)
healing from all types and layers of trauma— including family-of-origin and relational trauma, “big T" traumatic events including sexual trauma, and systemic / intergenerational trauma rooted in patriarchy & white supremacy
supporting high-achievers who know how to "check the boxes" for external success but want to connect to a deeper sense of self, challenging perfectionism and self-criticism, and establishing healthy relationship patterns
finding greater connection to hope & meaning, while acknowledging the pain of living in a troubled world (informed by intersectional anti-oppression and anti-racism principles, existential and humanistic psychology, and ecopsychology)
moving beyond the cognitive / conscious mind to create shifts in the unconscious mind for more impactful and sustainable change
reclaiming sexuality, pleasure, and intimacy— whether that looks like unblocking desire, navigating various sex-related challenges, or addressing out-of-control sexual behavior
integrating creative, experiential, and somatic approaches into therapy to experience breakthroughs that are deeper and more lasting
