Who We Are

Rooted in connection, built on compassion.

About Us

We Support People On a Journey of Creating Change in Their Lives.

Sometimes this is through shifting relationship patterns and connecting more deeply, sometimes healing past wounds, or sometimes growing your relationship to yourself. Through it all, we are here to help you find new outcomes that better serve you. Our clients are ready to rebalance boundaries and connections, face what feels challenging or stuck, and lean into new joys and opportunities created through the therapy process. Our clients are committed to the journey of cultivating emotional and relational experiences that feel more aligned and we are committed to helping you through this journey in ways that feel both safe and nourishing for you.

Signature

Cultivate Connection is a non-pathologizing practice offering systemic, responsive, and affirming therapy. This practice is built on the belief that we are all inherently valuable. We view problems as occurring in the space between us rather than from within us. This perspective, instilled in all of our therapists, creates a space that is open, warm, and non-judgmental. We are client-centered in that we learn about you, from you, to support change that aligns with your value system.

We also believe that good therapists must practice what they preach, and we are committed to supporting our therapists in their own nurturing and change processes so that we are showing up in your therapy spaces fully present, authentic, and ready to support you on this journey. We offer in-person therapy as well as the convenience of tele-therapy using a secure video platform to meet you in the privacy and comfort of your own space.​

What Makes Cultivate Connection Different?

Our practice is built on the belief that all humans are inherently valuable. We view problems as occurring in the space between us rather than from within us. This perspective promotes therapy that values your humanness.

We believe that clients are the experts on their own lives. We center your experiences and support self-determination in your change and healing process. You will be seen and affirmed.

Our team reflects a wide range of identities, lived experiences, and therapeutic styles. We show up as real people—so you can, too. We believe representation and authenticity are essential for building trust and creating meaningful connections with our clients and their stories.

We’re committed to making therapy accessible, whether through flexible scheduling, virtual sessions, transparent pricing, or lower-cost therapy options we strive to reduce barriers so more people can access the care they deserve.
It’s Truly Changed My Life

Starting therapy felt intimidating at first, but I immediately felt safe and supported here. I’ve been able to explore patterns I didn’t even realize were holding me back, and slowly, things have started to shift. My relationships feel more honest, and I feel more grounded in myself. I’m so grateful for the care, patience, and insight I’ve experienced in this space—it’s truly changed my life.
