Personal
Statement:
Psychotherapy takes courage: courage to reveal
oneself to another person and courage to face uncomfortable truths about oneself. If
you’re thinking of entering psychotherapy — or have a loved one who you’re
thinking of referring — I believe that you’re one of the healthier people in our
society. Too often we can get caught up in destructive relationships; blaming others or
accepting circumstances that mire us in resentment, confusion and fear. I view my work
with clients, at its core, as a process of building a healthy relationship based on
nurturance, sensitive confrontation, collaboration, and honesty in the service of my
clients’ self-development. Through our work I hope to support your developing into
the creative, confident, authentic person you truly are – realizing your ambitions,
speaking up about your pain and your feelings, and living out your unique ways of being in
the world and relating to others.
