*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I don't believe that therapy is just about the destination - it's also about the journey. How do you get from where you are now to where you want to be? The path we take in the therapeutic process should involve learning about yourself, growing into the goals you set for yourself, and evolving to create positive, lifelong changes you can carry with you even after the journey in the office ends. While therapy can be a huge step for some people, it is not a step you have to take by yourself. We will experience it and walk through the process together until you've reached where you want to be.
