Anima is Latin for soul; breath. Anima translates in other languages. Carl Gustav Jung believed that “the anima was an individuals inner most true of the self.”

Why does the logo have a butterfly with a brain?

In therapy, the butterfly represents transformation and growth. Just like a caterpillar undergoes a significant change to become a beautiful butterfly, our therapeutic journey often involves personal growth and discovering new strengths. This symbol encourages us to embrace change, resilience, and the beauty that can emerge from our challenges. Each step you take in therapy is part of your unique transformation, leading to a brighter, more authentic version of yourself.

How long should I expect to be in therapy?

Each person's journey is unique, so the way we approach your treatment will depend on your individual needs, the challenges you're facing, and what feels right for you. We'll collaborate to find the best path forward together, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. If you would like to stick to 12 weeks or 6 months feel free to let me know and we can work on a plan that feels right to you.
