Thoughtful therapy for those who want more than symptom relief.

We work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to do meaningful work — in person and online throughout California.

Our approach

Our approach is grounded in long-term thinking, relational depth, and clinical integrity. Our work is for those who are seeking a consistent relationship with a trusted therapist — where the pace, privacy, and priorities are decided between the two of you, not by a third party.

We don’t chase trends or pathologize your humanity, we create space for it.

Providing you with a safe space to relax.

All your appointments will take place in a peaceful office environment with a fully private room and individualized care.

Living room with a gray sofa decorated with white and patterned pillows, a textured throw blanket, and framed clouds artwork on the wall. There are two round nesting coffee tables with shadows cast on them, and a tissue box on top. A leather office chair is partially visible, with window blinds on either side allowing sunlight into the room.

In-person and remote options

Our office is conveniently located in Visalia off of Goshen & Demaree. Can’t make it into the office? No worries – we’ve got you covered with telehealth.
