Despite all of your efforts to make changes in your life, you may still find yourself unhappy and discouraged. One reason for this might be that you have developed ways, over a long period of time or perhaps even more recently, to protect yourself from uncomfortable feelings, threats to your self-esteem and self-worth, or your emotional pain. While these adaptive strategies may provide you temporary relief from your suffering, they ironically also prevent you from changing your life. Not directly facing yourself may feel better in the moment, but it simply postpones the work required to really change yourself and your life.
Often the suffering we know may feel more comfortable and safer than the uncertainty we may find when we leave our comfort zone no matter how dysfunctional that may be. From within a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can find a path together to help you heal the underlying issues that have created the struggles in your life.
Reaching out to a therapist is not typically the first thing people try to change their life circumstances. If you are not getting the results you want by yourself, I encourage you to give therapy a chance. Give us the opportunity to use my 38 years of clinical
practice, professional education, and life experiences to help you create the life you desire.
