You can cuss, cry, or get angry. There are no expectations in therapy. You can be yourself in therapy without being judged or trying to please someone. Maybe you've been in therapy before; it was nice for someone to listen & they gave you coping skills, but that wasn’t enough. You logically know one thing, but your emotions tell you another. You realize you never got to the root of the problem to heal. You put a Band-Aid on, & kept going. You have thoughts saying “I’m not good enough, I need to make others happy, I have to be perfect.” You’ve tried to think positive thoughts, but it doesn’t seem to change anything deep down.

You’ve tried talking to friends, doing self-care, and distracting yourself. You are exhausted & feel like things aren’t going to change. The same patterns keep repeating, people seem to treat you the same way, and you don’t know how to change. Its painful & frustrating to be stuck and want so bad to change, but not know how.
These thoughts & patterns can come from family dysfunction, what society or religion taught us, toxic relationships, or difficult experiences. At your own pace, we will explore your past to uncover the source of those beliefs & patterns. Working together, we can help you shift relationship dynamics, your self talk & create freedom to do things differently.
