Let’s go upstream together
and make long-lasting change
Why
Upstream?
Imagine standing by a river and seeing people swept downstream, struggling to stay afloat. You rush to rescue them, pulling one after another from the water. But as more people drift by, you realize the need to look upstream—to find the source of the problem and prevent others from falling in.
In therapy, this upstream journey is about uncovering the sources of emotional struggles, unhelpful patterns, and unresolved pain. Instead of focusing only on immediate challenges, we work together to address the underlying issues, fostering lasting growth.
We are here to guide you upstream—toward clarity, healing, and a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we will transform the source and harness your strengths, paving the way for lasting change.
Our mission
Our mission is to guide clients on a transformative journey, uncovering and understanding the origin and causes of their pain, and empowering them to create lasting and meaningful change in their lives.
Our approach
At the heart of our therapeutic practice is a psychodynamic, relational, internal family systems (IFS) and attachment-based approach. We believe in meeting you exactly where you are—honoring your unique experiences, emotions, and struggles. Through the lens of these therapeutic modalities, we explore how past experiences shape your present relationships and emotional life.
Our approach is both supportive and transformative. We provide a space for you to process and understand your thoughts and feelings to facilitate growth and self-discovery. We support you in harnessing your strengths, healing old wounds, and creating lasting change. Our goal is to empower you to gain deeper insight into yourself, improve your relationships, and live a more authentic life.
