Our Team

Who’s the best fit for you?

We’ll make therapy relatable to life outside of our sessions.

Finding a therapist who best fits your individual needs is essential to your well-being. Research indicates that one of the biggest indicators of therapeutic success is the strength of the relationship clients develop with their therapists.

Our team is made up of mental health and life coaching experts whose knowledge, skills, and experience will provide informed guidance as you explore, define, and progress toward your goals. Each of us has honed our specialties through thoughtfully planned experience as well as extensive and focused education and training. We collaborate across our areas of expertise to offer support that is attuned to your unique needs and priorities.
