We recognize that it takes a lot of courage to start the journey of learning about ourselves. Just like anything else, the first step can be the hardest. That's why we want you to know we are here by choice and honored to join you on this journey. We take price in providing our clients with a safe space to share and relax. OUR APPROACH
We believe that using evidence-based techniques in a compassionate, therapeutic relationship is the key to successful treatment. Our work is grounded in empathy and connection, while helping individuals gain insight
into their struggles. We will help you recognize the barriers that stand in the way of pursuing your values in life. You will learn how to implement new techniques and skills and, ultimately, how to be your own therapist. If you have any questions, or are considering psychotherapy,

Not every thought our mind generates is necessarily true or beneficial in guiding us toward a life that aligns with our values. It’s important to develop the ability to distinguish between thoughts that support our well-being and those that may hold us back. 🌸

Would you wear a t-shirt or hoodie that says, “I have panic attacks,” “I have anxiety,” “I have OCD,” or “I’m depressed”?

Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of stigma surrounding mental health struggles, even though every one of us faces challenges. As a result, we often suffer in silence, feeling isolated, as if these struggles are unique to us. What do you think?

One of the common misconceptions is that we need to get rid of uncomfortable feelings like anxiety, but it’s really about learning to develop a different relationship with these feelings🧘🏻‍♀️

How do you recognize a panic attack?

Use this checklist:

✔️Sudden rushes of overwhelming fear
✔️Physical sensations include heart palpitations, numbness, tingling, dizziness, depersonalization feeling, and others
✔️Fear of dying, fainting, or losing control
✔️Using “safety behaviors” to cope

Constantly fearing the recurrence of panic attacks can be emotionally draining and often
results in unhealthy avoidance behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral interventions, including
exposure exercises, breathing retraining, and relaxation techniques, can help us
overcome panic attacks.
