Specializes in Clinical Psychology

It is not simply: Expressing emotions that can create problems for us but even more being clear on what we are feeling and what is motivating our behavioral choices. This can lead to greater self acceptance, the courage to make some lifestyle changes, etc. Please see a mental health professional to facilitate this process.
