Our minds are powerful. The mind controls our whole body and especially our thoughts.

Therapy can seem like a challenge at the beginning. The most important thing is that the client experiences a sense of safety and agency. I always appreciate when clients share openly about their struggles and communicate what they think is helpful. Clients already come with a lot of knowledge and experience. As a professional I aim to bring my skills and therapy experience to meet clients where they are at that moment. Good therapy involves both listening to the what each client needs and adapting my approach to help guide them and help them overcome challenges.
