WELCOME  

We provide depthful counseling for adults and adolescents. Our practice is not a garden-variety counseling clinic.

We are interested in helping you to make courageous meaning in your life. We will help you to become actively engaged with your Thoughts, your Habits, your Mind and your Life.

Any questions that may come up about us and our practice as you explore the information provided on this website, or that arise at any time during therapy, are worth asking, and we look forward to discussing them with you.

O U R   A I M   I N   T H E R A P Y   is to work together to reduce the power that old, destructive patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving have had over your life. Specifically, we will strive towards making:

Your responses to what is familiar less rigid,
Your vulnerabilities less threatening,
Your struggles less isolating,
Your challenges more tolerable,
Your sense of belonging, of home, more secure,
Your resiliency strengthened,
Your insight more keen,
Your sphere of influence expanded,
Your imagination enlivened,
Your options more varied,
And your life more vital.

P R E M I S E   The central insight of talk therapy is that humans are driven to express ourselves. We either express ourselves in words or in art, or we will be expressed through our symptoms and acting out. Each of us needs to find our expression through the specific set of constraints we are born into, as determined by our families, culture, resources and historical moment. Mindful of these constraints, we, as therapists, will help you to foster intentional awareness so that you can make more deliberate and informed choices around the shape of your consciousness, your daily habits and your life.
