Therapeutic commitment, as I see it, is twofold.
It involves a mutual investment: mine as your therapist, and yours as the person seeking growth. Your role in therapy is to explore what brought you here—whatever thoughts, questions, or problems that compelled you to begin. These things don’t need to make perfect sense right away. They don’t need to come out clearly or feel connected either. You just need to be willing to consider them. My commitment is to support you fully in doing that.

In my experience, I find three things tend to happen as we consider all the stuff that makes up your life.  First, we will encounter details about you and your life that were previously unknown. Second, as we discuss your feelings about these details, your feelings will likely change. And third, we will discover new solutions to these details.  

I often think of therapy as a confluence between science and art—a kind of waterway where psychological theory meets the canvas of being a person. We may start out believing we know ourselves, only to encounter certain moments where we feel like strangers to our own mind. That’s not a failure—it’s normal. Life is full of possibilities, and in these kinds of spaces, you have the power to decide which ones to amplify.
