I have found therapy to be a place where we can talk about aspects of our lives that might be stigmatized, misunderstood, or unseen in other social spheres. It is important to me to give clients the space to be authentic while they approach self-exploration, self-love, and judgeless venting. Working through past wounds or current obstacles deserves a safe space.
