Together you will explore the complexity of your life at the intersections of the systemic and the personal, gaining self-knowledge by weaving together your past experiences with your thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the present. Isabel prioritizes building a safe, collaborative therapy space where you work together to build mental wellness.
