Info About Therapy

Like the famous Octopus Tree of Oregon – a mighty Sitka spruce that was pulled by human hands yet still reaches persistently toward the light – you’re here because your life has taken some unexpected turns. Despite past circumstances that may have pushed you in different directions, there’s still a fundamental drive within you reaching toward growth and healing. You may be feeling isolated, disconnected, and frustrated. You’re struggling with relationships. You’re finding yourself reliving old patterns that are causing you pain. You’ve been trying to solve everything on your own, but you’re feeling stuck.

Just as the Octopus Tree adapted to grow multiple trunks while maintaining its vital connection to the sun, together we can work with your experiences and help you find your own path toward light and growth. You need a space where you can talk through all of the jumbled-up thoughts and feelings inside, because you’re starting to feel like a pressure cooker.

“I am broken.” “I’m worthless.” “I can’t.” …Do these sound familiar?
