Our Approach to Care
We believe that high-quality psychological care is built on a foundation of trust, expertise, and a genuine commitment to your well-being. Our core values include:
Trauma-Informed & Evidence-Based Practice
Your treatment is grounded in compassion and science. We utilize the most current and effective evidence-based treatments—such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). We always view your care through a trauma-informed lens to ensure your therapy is not only effective but also compassionate and tailored to your specific needs.
Reliability & Transparency
You can count on us for clear, honest communication about our practices, your treatment plan, and what you can expect throughout your journey. We strive to eliminate guesswork so you can focus on healing.
Affirming Care
We are deeply committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and validating space for everyone. We honor your unique identity and lived experiences, ensuring your care is respectful and affirming at every step.
Specialized, Individualized Care
While we specialize in advanced, evidence-based treatments for trauma, we recognize that no two healing journeys are the same. That’s why we emphasize individualized therapy treatment plans and assessments that honor your specific circumstances.
Goodness of Fit
We believe the relationship between you and your psychologist is one of the most important factors in successful therapy—this “goodness of fit” is essential. To help you find the right match without pressure, we offer a free 15-minute initial consultation. This is a chance for you to ask questions, learn more about our approach, and ensure you feel comfortable taking the next step.
