You might be thriving in some ways while struggling deeply in others. You're successful and still feel completely overwhelmed. You appear to be keeping it together while quietly wondering how much longer you can manage the weight you’re carrying.

Deciding to seek therapy is a courageous first step, and takes a level of vulnerability and commitment that I don’t take for granted. This decision likely means that despite how hard doing the work in therapy can be… whatever challenge you’ve been facing has become even harder. It has been a privilege of mine to collaborate with clients in their journey towards feeling better.
