Anxiety or depression is dogging you, dragging you down. You could move up in your career but you shy away from being assertive and setting limits. You could have better friendships but don’t know how to be more open about your struggles. Your work life balance sucks. And you don’t even want to think about dating or your relationship.
It’s time to stop getting in your own way.
You wind up wasting time endlessly scrolling, writing out new morning routines and you don’t follow through on, or you just can’t seem to get close to the people you want to get close to. Exercise and eating well are inconsistent. You get paralyzed by worry about the future, and you wake up each morning fighting dread. To top it all off, you’re ridiculously hard on yourself. You just can’t seem to let go of little mistakes, let alone big ones. We can help. Let’s get started.
You can absolutely meet your goals – you can level up at work and go home feeling fulfilled, proud, and competent. You can trust your friendships to be supportive, fulfilling, and be fun as hell. Your work life balance doesn’t have to suck.
You can leave depression behind and you can master your anxiety – neither have to keep holding you back.
Imagine you’re in a relationship with someone you love. You’re at a BBQ on the weekend feeling great telling your friends about your life. You’ve learned to not sweat the small stuff and focus on what really matters. Depression is a distant memory and you wake up feeling ener

2. We’ll help you go easier on yourself.
How to do that, again, is unique to each person. Maybe it means you need to protect yourself from your harsh inner-critic. Maybe you need to laugh about how absurd it is. Maybe you undersell yourself and we can help gas you up. Maybe you actually do need to be more disciplined and could use an accountability partner. Whatever it is, we’ll figure out the roadmap together
To empower individuals to lead more fulfilling and authentic lives through a blend of data-driven therapy and compassionate care. We believe in the transformative power of evidence-based practices, personalized to each client’s unique needs, to unlock their full potential.
By combining rigorous analysis with a warm, humanistic approach, we aim to create a therapeutic environment where meaningful change is not only possible but measurable, ensuring that every client feels supported, understood, and capable of achieving their goals.
Unlike most therapists, we don’t follow one particular model; we do what works. Research consistently shows that the best therapy is tailored to a particular person. One person needs a more directive, action-oriented therapy, another needs insight and introspection from a sympathetic listener.
Our approach is derived from decades of peer-reviewed studies on how to shape therapy to you, your needs, and your goals. Furthermore, we consistently consult and review cases as a group to make sure we’re on the right path.
