Welcome to Gaining Clarity Counseling Services! All are welcome here! I take pride in being real. While techniques and interventions are important, the relationship between therapist and client is essential for positive outcomes.

Together, we will address root causes and equip you with the tools necessary for sustainable lifestyle change.
