Inviting individuals and couples to explore themselves through insight oriented psychotherapy.

A few thoughts on the process. . .

What is psychotherapy?
Foremost, it is a gift to ourselves and those around us.  In psychotherapy, we allow ourselves an opportunity to reflect upon what is working and what is not working in life.  By allowing oneself the time and space to explore our relationships - to others, to the world, and to ourselves - we undertake a couragous journey.  We enhance our understanding of experiences that influence our behavior.  Why do we respond in a particular way to our friends or sposes or children or situations?  Tracing our current experiences to those in our early life is instructive. 

One may come to psychotherapy (once a week, once a month or several times a week) with a particular agenda or with the feeling "I have nothing to say".  I have found that most sessions that begin as the latter actually have a great deal to say (although saying nothing at all also says a great deal), and that typically an agenda ends up in unpredictable places.
