We are not neurologically hardwired to figure out difficult emotions on our own. Therapy provides the opportunity to become intentionally curious, aware, and held accountable for how we show up each day. Through a collaborative discussion, I work with clients to cultivate change and empower them to find their inner voice, set boundaries, and align with their authentic selves. This leads to more clarity as clients expand their awareness by listening to their body and mind while creating meaningful connections with themselves and others.
