Services Offered

1. Anxiety & Stress Management: Anxiety is a common human experience, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can interfere with daily life. We provide evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), to help you manage anxiety and stress effectively.

2. Romantic Relationships: Understanding patterns in romantic relationships can lead to healthier and more fulfilling connections. We offer a supportive environment to explore these patterns, improve communication skills, and enhance relationship satisfaction.

3. Body Image & Emotional Eating: Our culture often sends conflicting messages about body image and health. We help you navigate these messages, develop a healthy relationship with food, and improve your body image.

4. Overachievement & Success: While achievement can be rewarding, it can also lead to burnout and unhappiness. We assist you in finding balance, setting realistic goals, and cultivating a sense of fulfillment in life.
