Services
Therapy
During therapy, I will provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through the therapeutic process, it is possible to gain greater insight, repair relationships, manage symptoms more effectively, and clarify goals and values.
Assessment
An important part of the mental health therapy process, assessment involves gathering information about your personal strengths and struggles. This may include receiving a formal mental health diagnosis and typically includes discussing your goals for therapy.
