Starting or continuing the process of therapy can be intimidating for anyone. Maybe you are experiencing a new life transition or dealing with an ongoing issue. Regardless of what you may be experiencing, you do not have to go through it alone.
As the newest team member of Sunrise Counseling & Wellness, I am here to help you navigate through the process. My goal is to create a space that allows you to come as you are and explore the challenges you are facing when you are ready.
We strive to not only treat mental health symptoms but optimize your emotional and physical health as well. We create custom treatment plans to meet people where they are and move forward with any personal, professional, or lofty goal. No matter what goals you want to attain, our primary purpose is to ensure you are living your best quality of life.
