Therapist interventions aim to reduce problematic behaviors, increase the ability to cope with stressful and triggering situations that lead to emotional disturbances, and develop tools and skills that boost self-confidence and stability.

**Is currently accepting new clients** Congratulations on taking that first step in seeking counseling.

Together, we can identify where you struggle and where you can draw strength. I woul...
It can be difficult to make sense of and find meaning in our life experiences. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings to better understand and find solutions to life situations. Struggles with relationships, life stress, fear, and self-judgment of not being ‘good enough’ can hold you back from living authentically and to your full potential. My goal ...

That's where I can...
