Before Arbor Therapy became a practice, it was a story.
Ours began across the Atlantic, with two and a half years of long-distance love, visa uncertainty, time-zone differences, and the recurring question: Will this work? And it did. We married, weaving together our European and American roots and learning firsthand what it means to build a life across cultures.
Then came parenthood—and a turn we had not anticipated. Our first child was born with disabilities that reshaped many of our expectations for the future. We learned in real time that growth is rarely linear, cannot be rushed, and often looks different from what we imagined.
Those seasons have taught us something textbooks could not: what it feels like when life changes in ways you never saw coming.
These experiences shape how we practice. We meet people with compassion and respect for the realities of their lives, helping them face pain honestly, discern what matters, and live with greater freedom and purpose.
