Growth in Connection
The manifestation of your most important personal, social, and professional goals requires your attention.
We can help.
Transformation surfaces the stories of life. Clarifying historical relational patterns and reconciling core wounds is referred to as the “inner work” that makes space for meaningful change and healing. Our clients often rediscover blocked inherent strengths and natural abilities.
Contextualized psychotherapy calls for commitment (and recommitment) to self-awareness, deep curiosity, cognitive flexibility, and openness to self-compassion. Each team member brings their own sensibility. Yet we all maintain that our clients hold deep inner intelligence. By mapping out your situation, we will explore the factors within your power to control and highlight a path to your essential nature.
Together, we will make it to the other side… It’s better over there!
