"It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go,
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings."
- Wendell Berry
THERAPY IS A PARTNERSHIP
My youngest niece once said to me: "I don’t know how you can listen to people’s problems all day." But that’s not quite it. On a bad day that is true. But on most days, we are trying to put the pieces of a puzzle together, finding form, color, and edge pieces.
Therapy is a partnership where you and I agree to work together for a time in order to gain a perspective on the forces, events, and people acting upon your life. We will identify patterns and barriers, develop ways of coping, and consider the strengths and supports available to you.
HERE TO HELP YOU THROUGH LIFE'S DIFFICULT STAGES
All of us are born deserving complete and utter unconditional love. Not all of us receive that during our formative years and we can find ourselves in a place where we become our own critics, doubting our abilities. Therapy can help model acceptance, meeting you where you are. You will begin to do the inner work that leads to love and self-esteem.
You deserve to experience what it is like to feel safe, accepted, and validated. Just knowing you are heard and seen can bring tremendous relief when you are experiencing depression and anxiety.
