"There can be no transforming of darkness into light ... without emotion." -Jung Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the core of my training. It embraces the past's belief systems that affect your present. It's a state of mind that defines thinking that affects emotion. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept.

Talk therapy is a great way to improve the quality of your life. It offers the space and time to allow you to explore and navigate your emotions, past experiences, barriers, and goals. Therapy is a safe space to revisit trauma, begin to change the way you think about it, and change the way you think about yourself.
