The river does not resist the shore. Nature does not force, yet all things unfold in time.
Therapy, too, is a process of allowing and becoming.
We often come to therapy burdened, longing to relieve our troubles. Yet true healing does not come from pushing feelings away, but from ‘being with’ them—allowing whatever arises to be felt, without resistance or judgment.
Therapy, to me, is not about ‘fixing’ you, but about creating space to ‘be with’ yourself. It is a practice of sitting with your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, even when they feel uncomfortable, painful, or uncertain. To approach therapy as a practice is to let your natural way of being unfold without shame. This cumulative practice of presence—of allowing feelings to rise and fall like the tide—deepens emotional capacity, self-acceptance, self-trust, and self-esteem.
My role as a therapist is to offer a space where this unfolding can happen safely, with warmth and acceptance.
