As a therapist, I am a witness to this journey that you are on and also a fellow traveler. It’s my work to create a supportive space in which your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions can be explored with curiosity, kindness, and pragmatism. Together we will look at discomfort and explore the insight that it offers. I will ask questions that help you make connections to yourself and make meaning of the discomfort you feel. You will be given tools to map your thoughts, associations, physical experiences, and emotional states. We will practice being present for experience and feeling where there is openness and where there is restriction. We will greet all the emotions that arise—pain, joy, insecurity, vanity, and more—with a spirit of inquiry. And in doing so, you will come to know yourself better, feel more grounded, and become more capable of being fully present and content in your everyday life.
