Searching for the right therapist can feel overwhelming. There is a lot of information to sift through, so I will try to keep this simple :) There are two major things that separate me and my team from the others:
 
1. Our Approach: Someone on our team of compassionate, experienced therapists will help you become mentally and emotionally stronger at your CORE. With this focus, any symptom you are having (anxiety, depression, substance abuse, etc.) will be alleviated and change will be more permanent. 
 2. Our Model: We provide affordable therapy for as long as you need.
To get the most out of therapy, it cannot be rushed. You need to be able to lean into this process without the added stress of draining your bank account. We have a unique, creative model that will give you that space. Contact me to learn more!


 
One of our favorite quotes that we live by is: "We will either find a way, or we will make one" ~ Hannibal.
If you are considering therapy for any reason, you probably want something to change. We are experts in making that a reality. This is a big step for you, and we look forward to helping you feel like it was a really good one :)
