As a systemic thinking therapist, I assist clients to work on making internal transformations to silence their inner critic and discover their inherent strength to develop insight and foster outward positive change. There is resilience, bravery, and creativity within everyone; and with internal restructuring one can experience external rebirth. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, conflict in a relationship, family dysfunction, adjusting to life after incarceration, ageing out of foster care/DCF, identity (gender, sexual) issues, sexual addiction/behaviors, or other life stressors, I can help you. Call Today!
Rooted in empathy and expertise, Forever Wellness is dedicated to supporting our clients through every stage of their journey toward mental wellness and relational harmony. By offering evidence-based therapies, personalized treatment plans, and a safe, supportive environment, we empower our clients to navigate challenges and achieve meaningful growth.
Our vision at Forever Wellness is to establish a comprehensive mental health center that serves everyone with a particular focus on addressing the unique needs of people of color and the LGBTQ+ community.
