In your sessions, the two of you will engage in an open process where you can safely explore your feelings, thoughts, beliefs, wishes, and behaviors.

In therapy, together you will clarify how your emotions and thoughts impact your everyday experiences and relationships, and Elina will work with you to solve problems by identifying patterns that may be connected to your distress.
