“I’ve carried these weights for so long. I do not know how I am going to open Pandora’s box without falling apart.”
“I never had time for emotions/feelings. Life has taught me to stuff them down and not deal with them. I have achieved so
much, and now, I am afraid it will all come tumbling down once I start to feel.”
“I don’t’ know who I am without ________ being a part of my life. My whole life has been centered on it that I am afraid of who I will become or what will be different in my life once I start to heal.”
“I’ve never had time for myself. Most of my life is spent on the needs and wishes of other people.”
Do any of these statements resonate with you? I have interacted with many clients over the years who have all said something similar to the statements above. All of these persons share in common that life in some way has taught them to carry it all, be the strong one, be the one others depend on, and/or it’s too late to empower or heal yourself. It is to these statements and beliefs that I say, it is NEVER too late to feel, heal, and/or find empowerment!
Throughout the therapy process, I value empowering the client to identify and work through their own goals and needs. Each person has unique life experiences, backgrounds, and identities; no one person will have the same journey as another. It my intention and commitment to respect these individualistic aspects and assist you in making progress towards your goals. If you are ready to take the vulnerable and brave step towards healing and discovering your authentic self, then I am excited to help you start your journey!
