About Therapy
It takes courage to invest in yourself and it is not lost on me how difficult the first step can be. In fact, that is where "Audacia" comes from. Latin for daring, "Audacia" was chosen because I believe pursuing therapy is an act of great courage to seek healing.

lack of satisfying sexual experiences
