NEW Group Starting April 2025 – ED (BED)
Collaborating individually or in groups, we examine deeply embedded patterns that were once adapted to manage stress, fear, or anger but now undermine self-concept and overall well-being.
The key isn’t just breaking habits but aligning body and mind to reshape identity while forging a stronger connection to the core self. Lasting change comes not from willpower but from shifting what keeps you stuck.
I treat the whole person, all aspects. As a therapist I am empathetic, honest and have a knack for getting to the point quickly. I provide a safe environment conducive to self exploration, and you can be sure to receive feedback that is productive, honest, sensitive and constructive.
Individualized approach offers effective treatment which will draw upon your strengths, seek to enhance motivation, is collaborative and focused at increasing confidence in your your ability to adapt and meet objectives within your current circumstances. I am out of network with insurance, but should be reimbursable based upon your benefits.
