It can be tricky to figure out what works best (it sure has been for me), but once you understand your own process better, writing becomes less paralyzing and much more expressive. Personally, I have noticed that I have a greater sense of accomplishment about my writing as I have refined my process, and I enjoy helping clients find what works for them.

What I love about writing: I love that writing can let you express yourself in more or less direct ways, such as journaling as a direct way, or writing about a character going through a hard time as a more indirect way.
