I’ve been working with Nina for almost 3 years and in that time, she has helped me understand what “checking in with oneself” really means. I had built-up an emotional wall, a coat of armor so to speak, that would result in me never feeling or expressing my true emotions. I’d always reason my emotions with logic, thinking that was serving me best, when in reality it was causing me to become more unstable and unhappy. It was only through working with Nina that I realized I needed to truly allow my body to feel the emotions I was feeling to properly move through what I was struggling with. I’m still working through many of my struggles, but therapy to me is about the journey, not the destination. I’m grateful to have Nina with me on my journey to help guide me through and provide me the tools to move forward through my difficulties.
