It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, upset, or stressed at times. However, when you are not sure how to deal with these kinds of feelings or if you have been feeling down or upset for an extended period of time, reaching out for therapy can be the first step towards improving the quality of your life.

In her grief counseling sessions, Dr. Thomas encourages you to express your emotions freely, helping you go through the stages of grief while also being able to function and work towards a renewed purpose in your life.
