Working with a therapist can be one of the most empowering experiences of your life.
Many people have never had the chance to be truly seen, heard, and held in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. That in itself is healing.
While self-help books and courses are valuable, there’s something uniquely powerful about sitting one-on-one with a therapist. It’s in those moments—when old patterns resurface or deep emotions emerge—that we can begin to shift the cycles we’ve been stuck in.
For me, therapy is most transformative when I notice patterns repeating. With my therapist, I explore the why behind my reactions, understand where they came from, and learn to meet myself with compassion instead of shame.
Sometimes, healing looks like this:
I become overwhelmed in a session and start to shut down. In the past, that might’ve triggered anger or withdrawal from others. But in therapy, I’m met with a calm, steady presence. No pressure. No fixing. Just space.
That’s a corrective experience. It teaches my nervous system a new way of being—one that says: it’s okay to feel, and it’s safe to be here.
Yes, it’s deep work. Sometimes painful.
But it’s the kind of work that changes lives.
That’s why I’m here.
Love, Jen
