Ambivalence in therapy is common. It is a natural reaction, especially for those who aren't used to receiving care and support. Admitting the need for help can seem overwhelming, as if it betrays the roles, you have always played. What was your role, the family hero, fixer, helper? There is a fear that seeking help will reveal vulnerabilities that challenge your perceived identity. However, this fear ignores an essential truth: vulnerability is not a sign of weakness but a brave step toward healing and personal growth. At its core, therapy is a journey of self-discovery and healing.

I'll work with you to collaboratively identify the best approach and tools for what you are experiencing at this particular moment. We'll look at your circumstances and goals to get a shared idea about our direction. We'll get curious about your patterns of thought, behavior, and beliefs. We'll build on your strengths.

As your therapist, I will offer compassion and empathy as we explore the ‘why’ behind specific patterns and habits that keep you feeling stuck. We will also work towards gaining new coping skills and tools that will help you meet your specific goals.
