OUR SERVICES
Individual therapy includes diagnosing and resolving problematic beliefs, behaviors, relationship issues, feelings, and sometimes physical responses. Counseling can focus on past traumas and issues to change self-destructive habits, repair and improve relationships, work through painful feelings, address significant psychological problems and issues, and resolve problems that make you feel bad or impair your ability to function well.
​
Coaching- For those seeking growth without therapy, our coaching offers tools and strategies to overcome obstacles, build self-awareness, and achieve your personal goals with clarity and confidence.
​
Supervision-Guiding the next generation of therapists with expert supervision, I offer a blend of seasoned insights, flexible modalities, and dedicated mentorship to navigate the complexities of therapeutic practice.
