Hi! I am so glad that you are here. The decision to begin therapy is often the first step towards positive change, improved relationships and feeling better. Are you moving into new roles and responsibilities and finding it difficult to cope? Have you been impacted by something painful and feel you need a place to process this? Do you have a child or teen with anxiety, ADHD, anger, or OCD and want to arm them with skills to crush these issues? Could you use an expert opinion on what you’re going through, or a non-judgemental ear just to listen? If you answered yes to any of the above, therapy together may be a wonderful fit for you!
