Therapy is a journey that is difficult to qualify given our own unique perspectives and the reasons for seeking treatment. Generally, therapy involves a collaborative and confidential exploration between you and your therapist. Many of us periodically seek treatment during our lives as issues arise, or when we are confronted by challenges. My approach to therapy is let’s get to work, which for me, is to clarify the goal, outline a path, advance, reassess and adapt as necessary. The path ahead may not always be clear, but with time, it will all come into focus. My motto is: Never as you were, always moving forward, ever better. Therapy is the opportunity to create lasting change in the areas of life that are currently troubling you. Here, we have the hard conversations, confront our fears and emotions, stop avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable, and find courage and strength in the process. You will discover a new way of ‘being’ that will satisfy your soul and give you a new perspective on life. No one has to remain stuck in place. I believe in the good fight. Climb, kick, claw for your life. Never take things lying down. This is not to advocate violence, and it may seem unorthodox and aggressive, but human beings are meant to live in a perpetual state of motion. I encourage you to stay active. To ‘fight’ is to work . . . for the life you want, your happiness, and your dreams. I will be at your side in this fight, with authenticity, showing compassion and exploring your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. The work will be hard, at times intense. Therapy is never easy. Nothing worthwhile ever is. Each time we meet, we are working jointly to build skills to manage emotions, gain clarity, improve relationships and connections, and increase our understanding of ourselves. Truth is central to our work together: honesty with self and others, as we move away from strife to a place of peace. In treatment, personal growth is always encouraged; may you exude hope and optimism in the path forward.
