My name is Trisha and I'm here because I believe most of us are moving through life in a frantic state.

I spent most of my life trying to help people in one way or another. I was working at a school in an underprivileged neighborhood in NYC teaching music and I decided that I wanted to do more.

I wish that all clients knew that they have everything they need inside to live a happy, peaceful life. Therapy is the path to uncovering happiness.
