Addiction Counselor Couples Counselor

Like a multifaceted gem, we all contain various versions of ourselves – the echoes of childhood, the remnants of adolescence, the current self, and even the idealized projection of who we hope to become. If you’re seeking a therapist, perhaps you’re yearning for growth, desiring to recapture an earlier version of you, or aspiring to cultivate a more evolved and enlightened self.

In my experience, we find the most happiness, creativity, and connection when our various selves align with our authentic core – the “true” self, if you will, or as some might say, the soul.

Are you ready to do soul work?
