If you ever want your soul to dance, you will at some point have to juggle lightning and taste thunder.
-Christopher Poindexter
MEET DR. RENEE LÓPEZ
There are many quotes that embody the process of engaging in therapy, but Renée feels most people enter into a therapeutic relationship desiring growth and, for many, reduction in their experienced pain. Sometimes entering and engaging in therapy can feel like fear and/or excitement much like the metaphor of "juggling lightning and tasting thunder" may engender. We don't know what we are getting into, what to expect or is expected of us, or who this person is; yet, we desire to find a way to experience our soul dancing with authentic living and meeting our goals. Renée works collaboratively with her clients to explore their internal and external experiences, helping them gain insight and awareness, empowering them, and building skills with them so they can take the necessary steps to live a full, authentic life.
