Hi, I’m Garmis, a licensed mental health therapist with experience working across private practice and community settings, I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and burnout. I am particularly drawn to working with those navigating relationship dynamics, mother wounds, and life-transitions. Whether you’re managing deep emotional wounds, setting boundaries, or rebuilding after a breakup, I meet you where you are. My style is integrative, drawing from narrative therapy, CBT, and trauma-informed, with a strong mind-body connection focus. Let`s connect!
