About
We are troubled by two things. We wish our past, especially our childhood, had been different and so believe ourselves to be damaged by what we have experienced. And we feel inadequate compared to an idealized image we fabricate in our imagination. But you are neither damaged nor inadequate. In fact, you are already possession of everything you need to flourish. Therapy is not about changing anything essential about you because nothing essential about you can change. Instead, therapy is the journey to discover that essential self, make peace with its limitations, and embrace its possibilities. I take a mindfulness-based approach combining ancient wisdom systems with modern therapeutic interventions. I work with clients to develop concrete strategies that they can apply to whatever challenges they are facing. Along the way, I help my clients develop the skills (that is, the virtues) to live more fully and joyfully in the present. Mary Pipher said, "Happiness is a choice, and it's a set of skills. And once we've made the existential choice to be happy, we can develop the repertoire of skills we need to achieve our goals." There is a way out of your present condition, but it will require acting and thinking differently. Why not reach out today for a free fifteen-minute consultation?
