I believe that for a person to heal and move beyond their internal struggle, they must first have a sense of safety and connection. Together, we will develop a path of treatment that leads you too feeling more balanced.

It is during these times that having someone to support and encourage you in finding ways to mend relationships or make new connections can be useful.
