Are you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and unsure of how to move forward in your life? Challenges with your thoughts, emotions, relationships, or physical health, can create a profound sense of disconnection. This disconnection is often deeply painful, leaving you feeling as though you’re merely existing rather than truly living. We understand these feelings—not just professionally, but personally—and we believe that during such times, having someone who offers genuine acceptance, understanding, and clarity is essential.
Struggles with emotions and behaviors can disrupt the life you’ve worked hard to build. However, these difficulties are not insurmountable. They have underlying causes that, once identified and understood, can be resolved. This process allows you to break free from their hold and begin creating the life you’ve always envisioned. We work with individuals, couples, and families to stabilize quickly and gain clarity about the challenges they face. Whether it’s anxiety, anger, ADHD, depression, addiction, trauma, PTSD, personality disorders, or relationship difficulties, there is a path to restore peace and order to your life. Together, we’ll help you clear the mental space needed to build the future you’ve been longing for.
Our approach focuses on helping you untangle the complexities of your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and physical sensations. We work collaboratively to make sense of your experiences, empowering you to regain control over your life. Using an integrative method, we root therapy in rational thought to dissolve confusion, while also addressing emotional disturbances and trauma. By exploring the signals your emotions and body send, even when they seem unclear, we uncover insights that guide healing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms the foundation of our approach, complemented by Narrative Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy to explore and process emotions. For physical manifestations of trauma, Somatic Experiencing helps relieve distress stored in the body, while Internal Family Systems Therapy works to heal the internal impact of trauma. This comprehensive, holistic approach ensures that we address your challenges from all perspectives, helping you move toward clarity and freedom.
Our mission is to help you break free from confusion, release stored trauma, and reconnect with your intrinsic value and joy. By uncovering the “whys” behind your struggles, we work together to move beyond pain and create a future filled with possibilities. We believe everyone deserves a life of peace, happiness, and fulfillment. Through therapy, we identify and address the root causes of suffering, clearing the obstacles that hold you back.
We focus on three core aspects of your being: the body, mind, and emotions. Trauma impacts emotions profoundly, causing them to cry out, retreat, and become overwhelmed with pain. The mind, seeking to protect itself, may dissociate or build walls to guard against further harm. However, when emotions remain unresolved, they manifest in the body through anxiety, tension, headaches, digestive problems, or even weight changes.
Our therapeutic approach directly addresses these buried emotions, allowing them to surface and heal. Together, we’ll explore how trauma entered your life, how it became entrenched, and how to release its hold. Trauma occurs when harmful events overwhelm a person’s ability to cope, prompting the mind to construct protective barriers. While these barriers serve a purpose, they often trap pain and prevent true understanding. By identifying and dismantling false beliefs rooted in trauma, we replace them with compassion, understanding, and truth, which diminishes or neutralizes pain entirely.
We specialize in treating a range of issues, including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), dissociation (DID), anxiety, depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), addiction, personality disorders, identity challenges, and relational difficulties. Our name—Freedom and Hope—reflects our core values. We believe that freedom creates hope, and with hope, individuals can learn, grow, and overcome obstacles. Our deepest wish is to help you find peace, rediscover meaning, and design a path toward success.
