Psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples, and Groups

A Mind-Body Approach to Therapy

For those who are ready to get to the root cause of anxiety, overwhelm, depression, burnout, self-sabotage, and relational distress. Real transformation requires us to go deeper than just our thoughts. The body and our nervous systems play a pivotal role in our healing process.

Welcome to Willow & Wave

Rooted in Self. Flowing with Life.


Like the willow, we grow vast roots to ground, nourish, and be more fully ourselves. Like the waves, we become fluid and flow with whatever life brings. This approach to therapy helps you build both, so you can feel steady inside and free to live fully.

We work with mind and body together. All parts of you are welcome, your emotions are a source of wisdom, and the foundation is a deep sense of inner safety.

The meaning behind Willow & Wave

Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?

"I'm so burnt out I can't think straight."


Restless nights, rumination and worry are making your head spin.

"I feel numb, but my mind won't stop racing."

Getting through the day takes everything you have and joy feels far away.

"We're under the same roof, but I feel completely alone."

You and your partner have drifted, and you're not sure how to find your way back.

"I don't recognize how upset and on edge I am."

Small things set off big reactions, and you wake up at 3 a.m. with a sense of dread you can't name.
