Enodia (eh-no-di-a) is the Greek Goddess of the Crossroads. Enodia is most often translated to “of the road” or more intricately,

“They who stand on the road and persist”.

Enodia refers to the one who watches and traverses over transitional spaces and intertwining pathways. Some branching off into new spaces, some circling back once more to begin again, but never the same twice over.

To those who like to mark their pilgrimages with clear vision, who seek to be unbound, who long for creativity, acceptance of self, and healing, I equate Enodia to mean “Light the Way”. It is with this name I hope our work together can begin to light your path, for nothing is more exciting and exhilarating than a path untraversed. 

We encounter many crossroads in our life. Some large and noticeable, others small and discreet. When we are at a crossroads, we think of choices to be made, action to be done, we visualize ourselves standing in the middle, paths in front, behind, side to side of us, and a question being presented. Which road will you take?

However, it’s not so simple. Sometimes things keep us from taking the certain paths and roads that we want to. Sometimes, anxiety creeps in, fear, depression, anger, past narratives that challenge us, that step in front of these paths and tell us, you can’t go there. There are what-ifs? What if it’s the wrong path? What if it leads to more pain? More sorrow? More Anger? But what if it leads to joy? Happiness? Self-acceptance? Love? And authenticity?

In the therapeutic process, sometimes we revisit old roads, old stories, to make new ones, which helping you along the way of the current path you are on. We look at paths already traversed, decisions already made, and their effect on you and your life's story. We look at people, places, and events that brought you to where you are now. When you get stuck at another of life crossroads, we work together to develop the skills, and confidence, and discuss ways to take your next step.

Many times we ask ourselves, where does it all lead to? All these small and large journeys that you’ve taken, what is the destination?

The Destination is You.
