Therapy is an adventure. Often people come into therapy because they are in crisis, or because an old pattern has become too painful to bear. With effective therapy, your decision to start therapy is likely to result in a constructive opportunity to change, perhaps in ways you didn’t dare to hope.
A large body of research shows that therapy helps most people. Anxious people become more confident and begin to assert themselves, depressed people find meaning and a new sense of power, hope, and opportunity, the people who destroy relationships learn to deepen them, the people in patterns of failure find ways to succeed. There can be no guarantee, of course, and ultimately your success is up to you.
It can be remarkably difficult to pick up the phone and take the first step toward feeling better. But once you do, you will find that you don’t have to tackle this important work alone. I have extensive advanced training in every major psychotherapy approach, and we will use a therapy approach to fit you. Regardless of techniques, however, I always focus on the creation of a warm context in which we can identify problems and find practical ways to solve them.`
If an exploration of my website gives you the feeling I might be a good fit for you, I encourage you to give me a call so we can talk. If you decide to come in for a first meeting, we will think together about how therapy can help you create the life you want.
