Understanding the patterns that get in the way of growth. Creating something new
We all develop ways of coping in childhood that helped us adapt to our environment. In therapy, we gently uncover ways these same strategies may limit your natural impulse to grow and flourish. And together we work to build new ways of approaching life.
Depth psychotherapy for individuals Relational groups for women In person and virtual
Gestalt informed relational therapy Present, embodied, and alive to what is happening right now.
Gestalt therapy works with the figural, what is alive, present, and pressing in this moment. Rather than analyzing the past from a distance, we pay attention to what is actually happening as we sit together —what you notice in your body, what feelings arise, what images or memories surface, what do you find yourself avoiding.
This approach honors the idea that the present moment contains everything we need. The patterns from the past do not stay in the past- they show up here, now, in how you hold your breath, in what you cannot say, in how you relate. By attending to your experience in the present moment, we discover how the past lives in you today.
This is careful, relational work. The therapeutic relationship itself—what happens between us in the room— is one of the primary places where healing occurs.
Women’s Relational Therapy Groups
These are small, closed groups of women who meet weekly over a sustained period — long enough to build the trust and safety that real relational work requires. The group itself is the therapeutic container. What happens between women in the room — the moments of recognition, the ruptures and repairs, the experience of being truly seen by peers rather than only by a therapist — is where much of the healing occurs.
Each session weaves together process-oriented group therapy with embodied and expressive practices: movement, journaling, creative practice, and guided meditation. These are not add-ons but integral to the work — ways of accessing what words alone cannot always reach. Because the group is closed, the same women move through the full cycle together, allowing something rare in ordinary life: the experience of being known over time, in a space held with both clinical skill and soulful intention.
Individual therapy or group—how do you know?
Individual therapy is often the right choice when you are carrying something that feels too raw, too private, or too acute to bring into a group setting. If you are in the midst of a crisis, working through trauma that is still very close to the surface, or simply need the focused attention of a one-to-one relationship before you are ready to be witnessed by others, individual work offers a depth of privacy and containment that a group cannot. It is also well suited for those who want to explore a very specific thread of their history or inner life at their own pace, without the rhythms of a group shaping the work.
Group therapy, on the other hand, offers something individual work cannot: the mirror of other women, the discovery that you are not alone in your struggles, and the lived experience of navigating real relationship in a safe and supported space. If you find that your deepest wounds live in the territory of belonging, connection, or being seen and accepted by others, the group may be precisely where the most important work can happen.
Some women do both — individual and group — at the same time, and find that each deepens the other.
We do not outgrow our younger selves. We carry them.
Much of what drives our behavior as adults was learned very early — strategies for staying safe, getting needs met, or managing overwhelming feelings in a family system that may not have had room for all of who we were. These younger parts of us continue to operate, often without our awareness, according to the world as it was then — not as it is now.
Uncovering the strategy
Together we identify the coping patterns that developed in childhood — the ways you learned to be in the world that once protected you, and now may be limiting you.
Healing with compassion
We approach these younger parts not with judgment but with curiosity and care — understanding why they developed, what they were protecting, and what they still need.
Integration
The goal is not to eliminate these parts but to integrate them — so that the whole of who you are can move through the world with more freedom, presence, and choice.
