We believe the fundamentals of healing rest most importantly on our relationships. We strive to build safe, trustworthy relationships with our clients and empower them to explore a more integrated look at some of the difficult moments in life. We work hard to create new, corrective emotional experiences with our clients and help them internalize those experiences. It is our hope to light a spark towards a refreshed, genuine, caring way of relating that leads to their journey of healing and clarity. We are committed to providing attachment based, culturally sensitive, experiential, inclusive, and affirming care to all clients. 

As a collective of professionals, we hold dear the principles of self-agency, fairness, and kind curiosity towards oneself and others. Mindfulness and effective communication are central to our approach. We believe in shining a light on what makes you human, not only what’s on your special skills list. Embracing the ethos of working smarter, we advocate for giving your 100% while on the job and finding the balance to switch off when you're off. We believe in caring for your clients deeply while also humbly knowing where you end and they start. We value self-awareness and ability to sit in your own difficult feelings. We want to foster an environment that is both culturally humble and open-minded. Our aim is to cultivate an emotionally safe and dynamic work environment that not only encourages professional growth but also celebrates our shared humanity (while figuring out ways to get things done)!
