No human exists in a vacuum or lives as an island. Our past experiences, family of origin, and relationships shape us, leading us to coping mechanisms or thinking patterns that may no longer be effective.

It is a journey to find your own tune, compose your own song and feel seen, heard, and live and thrive rather than just cope and get by.
We bill you for our time, not effort which is why the rate is the same for couples, families is the same as individuals.
We also don't offer discounts as we respect our time and you as a person neither are commodities to be sold off!
