Therapy Services for individuals seeking support
with things that they are unable to overcome or process alone.
Have you been impacted by something in your life that has caused pain such as loss, abuse, or a traumatic event? Have you used adverse coping techniques that resulted in negative outcomes or repeated patterns? Do you see these patterns reappear by choices made in your life and you feel unrest because of it? I am here to offer a nonjudgmental and unconditional foundation to help support you. Every experience is unique to the individual and the effects of these experiences must be processed through one’s own strengths. Together we will find the peace that you seek to ultimately bring you to a place of comfort and contentment.
The wound is the place where the light enters you. Rumi
