When it comes to therapy, we truly believe that one size does not fit all. Whether we are working with a client individually, or as part of a couple, family, or group, we incorporate a variety of treatment approaches that we tailor to our client's unique needs. Trauma-Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
We believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important ingredients for achieving success in therapy. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment to help create a therapeutic relationship based upon mutual trust and respect. We are passionate about the work that we do and are committed to helping our clients.
We work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and build upon existing strengths and resources in order to achieve lasting change and growth. Working together, we come up with practical strategies that use our clients' individual strengths to solve problems. Many clients find this approach to be an empowering way to reach their goals, cope with challenges and make changes that result in a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment.

Life with ADHD is difficult!
Stress, embarrassment, and self-blame are unwanted companions in daily life for adults living with ADHD.
Despite what many people think, judgment, shame and self-criticism are not effective ways to inspire change and in fact do more harm than good.
They lower self-confidence, increase isolation, heighten anxiety and depression, and contribute to an overall sense of inadequacy and helplessness.
By comparison, self-compassion, mindfulness and other strengths based approaches are actually much more effective ways of managing life with ADHD.
