How I Can Help
At Flourish Counseling, I offer specialized PTSD therapy designed to support your healing journey. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where you can explore your experiences and develop the tools you need to heal and thrive.

- Strengths-Based Therapy: Focus on your personal strengths and resilience. This approach encourages positive emotions, fulfillment, and personal growth, helping you handle challenges with greater resilience.
