“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf…“

- Jon Kabat-Zinn

Established in 2018, Align has grown into a trusted team of holistic therapists.

We believe therapy is more than a clinical exchange; it’s a relationship built on trust, presence, and respect. At Align, you are not just a client. You’re a human being with a story, a nervous system that deserves regulation, and a life worth showing up for. 

Our goal is to help you feel safe enough to heal and supported enough to grow.

We take a holistic approach, integrating traditional therapy with modalities such as mindfulness, breath work, somatic awareness, and energy healing. Our clients often say that the experience feels grounding, safe, and restorative.
