Adult Psychotherapy

Adult psychotherapy provides a dedicated space for individuals to explore and process a wide array of challenges and life experiences.

Maggie's depth psychology approach recognizes the profound influence of the unconscious mind and seeks to bring those deeper patterns to light.
