Our current society promotes the unhealthy stiff upper lip never expressing emotions when we struggle attitude. Therapy is not only a place to express your feelings but also a place to be heard, understood and validated.
We give ourselves a hard time when we think about opening about our feelings and those things we are struggling with.

While its lovely to have people that want to help and support us, sometimes that becomes overwhelming and detrimental. In therapy I help people to hear themselves and take action that supports and aligns with their goals.
One size does not fit all and maybe you’d like to figure out what this looks like for you. You don’t have to bottle it up to figure things out, talking helps. Therapy creates a great safe space.
