Great to meet you!

The plastered smile on your face will not trick you into believing that everything is Okay. Your friends listen politely and nod with a blank look. Family members are good at advising themselves, but it does not apply to you. You thank them warmly and ask yourself, "Why doesn't anyone get it? When will someone understand?"

It feels like a huge burden you are carrying on your shoulders, and the load keeps getting heavier. Each step feels like an eternity.

My approach to therapy

Yes, it is possible to change your mindset. With our help we can work together to find your core strength and build upon your confidence. We can help you redefine how you perceive yourself and your circumstances and recognize the parts of you that are serving a role to protect you from getting hurt emotionally.

What you can expect from me

We will help you realize how the habits you developed to protect yourself from pain are the very thing that may be preventing you from reaching your goals. In individual therapy at Empowerment Insight, you will learn how to exchange those behaviors for healthier coping methods. Natural comforts might feel good, but over time, they may harm your body and deplete your vitality and energy. You will no longer rely on old habits to make you feel good.
