An inner conflict develops when hidden, repressed experiences lead to mental or physical symptoms as your mind tries to protect you from being emotionally overwhelmed.
The tension comes from one part of you seeking healing and closure, while another part resists, fearing that facing the pain could cause you to break down entirely.
If you sense an inner conflict, you do not have to face it alone. We are here to help you find clarity and healing. Ask for your Free Initial Consultation

With therapy, you can navigate emotional challenges more efficiently, leading to faster progress and less time spent stuck in unproductive patterns.
Ericksonian therapy is a short-term and solution-focused process designed to address immediate concerns and provide practical tools for coping and improvement. This type of therapy typically lasts from a few weeks to a few months. Some cases, however, are more complex and require a longer engagement. Most often, therapy is short-term and solution focused to help you deal with immediate issues.
While friends and family have the best intentions, their advice can be influenced by personal biases because they care about you, and they may not provide the objective perspective you need. Additionally, sharing intimate details with friends or family can lead to breaches of confidentiality, as there’s no legal obligation to keep those conversations private. Therapy, on the other hand, ensures confidentiality and focuses solely on your well-being, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts and find effective solutions.
As your therapist, I want you to know that no one is beyond help or repair. Your mind and emotions are not broken; they’re simply in need of competent guidance and empathy. Together, we can explore what’s going on, address the challenges you’re facing, and work towards effective solutions and coping strategies.
You are not alone, and with just a little bit of patience and work, meaningful and lasting change is possible. It’s important to approach these feelings with compassion and openness, and I am here to help guide you through this process. Together, we will diligently work towards healing and building a path to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Think of therapy as investing in a custom-made map for a difficult journey. While a high-quality map may cost relatively more initially, it provides precise directions and guidance tailored to your specific path, allowing you to navigate obstacles more efficiently and reach your destination more smoothly.
Similarly, while the cost of therapy may seem somewhat high initially, it’s an investment in reducing friction in your life and upgrading your coping skills. Often, the benefits include better performance and enhanced peace of mind, which leads to higher earning potential and a more fulfilling life. The returns on this investment often extend far beyond the immediate cost, making it a worthwhile step towards a successful future.
In other words, positive changes begin the moment you sit down on our couch or answer the phone.
In Ericksonian therapy, we emphasize understanding how your mind works rather than delving deeply into past memories or repressed experiences. Our approach centers on practical strategies and solutions, focusing on the present and future rather than just analyzing the past. If discussing your history feels uncomfortable or isn't aligned with your goals, we can concentrate on current challenges and developing effective strategies. The aim is to create a therapeutic process that best supports you and your personal growth.
