Psychotherapy

Whether or not you come to therapy with specific issues to be addressed, the work is the same: to uncover your particular paths to fullness of experience and acceptance of self.  We suffer less and enjoy more not as destinations, but as consequences of this pursuit.

If you come to me for therapy, I will join you in addressing the issues or diagnoses you name.  I’ll also guide you to regard differently those aspects of yourself that have been dismissed, disregarded, or shunned. 

Psychotherapy is an art and a science, and I strive to weave the two.  While we will practice the arts of attention, compassion, and insight, we’ll also work with what knowledge, experiment, and empiricism have yielded. 

Personal Development

You may not be reading this out of a critical need for help or relief.  You may be here because something inside says it is time to stop going it alone.  For some it is a nagging feeling, or a thought that keeps appearing, or an ache in the spirit.  If you’re feeling this way, I imagine you have come a long way and have achieved much with what you could.  And so my job, if I have one, is to meet you where you are and to encourage the next step, stage, leap or letting go.

If you are suffering some named, diagnosed, or unnamed ailment of the mind or spirit, I may be able to help.  If life feels fine or even good, but lacking something, I may be able to open you towards what’s missing, or what’s possible.
