We Seek To Engage With You
Deeply And Authentically

Through unconditional acceptance, deep reflection, and engaging the imagination, we help you understand the connection between past experiences and current thoughts, feelings, and behavior. We strive to connect with and help you accept the parts of yourself that have been hurt, shamed, ignored, or rejected. We help you create alternatives to the stories you tell–or have been told–about yourself and uncover the deeper meaning of life events.
