As a marriage and family therapist, I specialize in working alongside individuals, couples, and families seeking to better understand and meet their emotional and relational needs. Whether you seek to heal a broken relationship or process how past experiences have shaped who you are today, I'm passionate about creating a space to explore that. I believe that while we all have the inner strength to navigate life's challenges, sometimes we just need someone to walk alongside us.

I believe therapy should be a supportive experience. Using a strength-based approach, I work hard to help my clients navigate emotions, develop coping skills and strengthen relationships. While working towards their goals, I value understanding individual experiences and underlying emotions. My work is centered around lifting constraints which prevent change and exploring new behaviors and thought patterns.

It is my goal as a therapist is to create a trusting, supportive, non-judgmental relationship with you. I work with adults of all ages, and I focus on your strengths to move you towards your goals. I work with individuals struggling with the emotional and behavioral issues of mood and personality disorders. In addition, I assist older clients navigating major life changes. I also specialize in working with individuals struggling with addictions, addressing guilt and shame and uncovering the root of addiction. Last, I help families learn how to support an individual who struggles with addiction.

It seems to me that at the core of what we want is to know we are loved and deeply known. We want connection and peace with ourselves, family members, partners, and friends. I walk alongside clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self esteem issues, identity, parenting issues, anger, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults and couples. I also have experience working with blended families, infidelity, separation, and sexual concerns. I am only available to meet clients online.

Are you noticing that at times life is difficult to cope with? Do you want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself in an effort to promote overall wellness? I understand that the healing process can become a bit frustrating and confusing, overcoming the challenges of life is not always easy. I fully recognize that every individual has a different background and deals with a unique set of challenges. But we have the capacity to get up from each fall and regain strength to move forward. If we give ourselves the opportunity, this can be something that can make us strong and resilient people. Thank you for taking the step to be here.

I’m Bori, a therapist and a trauma-specialist. Let me first say this: thank you very much for being who you are. I do appreciate that you are on this healing journey to care for your inner child and find your own voice. I appreciate that you have made such a courage to take a step towards your healing journey. No matter where you are or which season you are in, your story matters. Your struggle matters. Your being matters. Your inner child matters.

You haven’t even opened your eyes & yet, there it is – that weird pit in your stomach, the tightness in your chest. Do you ignore it & rally? Or do you stay under the covers & write this day off before it even begins? If only! Work’s a stress-fest. Your squad’s demanding more than you can give & you've been feeling disconnected from your sass & sparkle, lately. This dreams-to-drudge trajectory wasn’t on your vision board & you’re feeling pretty spent. You notice your inner voice whispering,”Take a beat, Girl. You’ve got this, just breathe.” But, even your typically optimistic self is starting to doubt these words. ENTER: Therapy.

My clinical areas of specialty include family trauma, anxiety, depression, suicidality, and supporting LGBTQIA2S+ identifying families. Perinatal mental health is one of my core areas of clinical interest and I am committed to ongoing training in this specialty, specifically for postpartum parents. I also have a strong interest in working with adolescents, young adults, and couples who have experienced complex trauma within their family. I draw from frameworks of radical feminism and liberation psychology in my practice to acknowledge and explore systems of oppression.

Psychotherapy is for anyone who could use help sorting through the confusing experience of living a life. Anxiety and depression are distressing symptoms of an internal struggle. Grief and separation are unforeseen circumstances that leave us feeling unmoored. When we meet, we work towards understanding what is getting in the way of feeling secure and fulfilled. We tend to feel better when we are known to ourselves, and known by an other. This brings relief.

You would be a great fit for working with me if you are looking to explore and understand your difficulty and, with that understanding, make appropriate changes that will help you become who you imagine yourself or your situation. I am passionate to work with issues related to grief, life changes, identity, spiritual crisis, self-awareness, assertiveness, relational conflict, communication, overcoming fears, anxiety, depression, vulnerability, shame/guilt, and other everyday life difficulties. I work with adults and provide pre-marital counseling.

Everyone experiences challenges in life. However, we may not always know how to handle the challenges that occur. We believe in a person's innate ability to overcome and change using her or his strengths. The experienced clinicians at The Meyer Group don't have an ideal client. We have a reputation for providing effective treatment to people who have difficult problems. We specialize in multiple and complicated problems and issues, ranging from mood disorders and anxiety disorders to marital and family problems.

The decision to seek assistance from someone outside of your family, social, and work circles takes courage regardless of the reason. This step may seem like a giant leap when you typically consider yourself a self-sufficient, problem-solving, working professional! I strive to create a healthy therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe enough to identify strengths and areas for growth to overcome the barriers to your goals. I have particular interest in assisting working professionals who are struggling with grief, loss, and men's issues.

My clinical areas of specialty include neurodivergence (e.g ADHD, Autism, OCD) and those exploring it, anxiety, relationship challenges, career concerns, and perinatal mental health. Some folks I work with also might describe themselves as sensitive, deep thinkers/feelers. As a neurodivergent woman myself, I feel passionate about working with clients who face challenges related to these areas. Overall, I often support clients in growing self-compassion, increasing self-awareness, living more aligned with their values, and in creating a life that feels sustainable and meaningful.

I believe that everyone deserves to have the space to process their thoughts and emotions with someone they trust. As a therapist, my style is warm, empathic and strengths based. Rather than focusing solely on challenges, I work with my clients to identify and amplify their inherent strengths. My approach is rooted in genuine empathy, with the intention to provide a haven for clients to explore their feelings without judgment. As someone that works with people from all walks of life, I know that everyone’s journey is unique, and I tailor my practice to meet individual needs with the utmost sensitivity.

Life is full of challenges that can be overwhelming and make us feel powerless. These challenges can often lead to feeling lost or stuck and can create an environment where we lose sight of happiness, enjoyment, and sometimes our own self-worth. The feelings of sadness, stress, anxiety, and anger that come along with these obstacles can at times seem unmanageable and make us feel lonely and unsure of how to get through them.

*Now offering in person and virtual sessions* Walking through life we all face challenges and questions that require an answer, and at times, this can feel overwhelming. Together we can build an authentic relationship where you feel safe, validated, and empowered to explore and confront those challenges. I help adults, couples, and families to find healthier ways to cope, as well as, promote holistic wellness: emotionally, physically and spiritually. Therapy is a collaborative process where you have an active role.

As a psychotherapist, I work with clients to validate their struggles, help them understand past patterns and motivations, derive new insights, and ultimately lead to commitment-driven change. I believe all people understand their needs and wants inherently, and therapy can serve as the conduit to better understand and elicit the best approach for each individual, allowing them to advocate for the future they imagine for themselves. Therapy is a collaborative effort and I seek to walk beside clients, engaging and encouraging them through a strengths-based approach that facilitates understanding and fosters change.
