Wondering what trauma-informed therapy actually looks like? Here's what to expect and why it matters.

When we think about improving our mental health, we often focus on our thoughts and emotions. While these are important components of our mental health, they’re only part of the story.

I am often asked how our practice came to exist. Not the boring parts like registering for a domain name or acquiring health insurance, but questions like "where did you get your name?" and "why did you decide to focus only on women and teen girls?"

You’re the one everyone turns to. The listener, the peacemaker, the one who “just knows” what people need before they even ask.
