Meet Opal

As a therapist, I seek to curate a warm and inviting experience for my clients. A place where one can feel safe, and not judged. I'm a life long social worker, and this background allows me to provide a holistic approach to my therapy sessions. I seek to treat the mind, but will work with the client to ensure they are healthy in other areas of their life as well.
