Therapist Overview
Psychotherapy is a relationship, a very special kind of relationship. The sole purpose of this relationship is to assist people in sorting through, understanding, and reducing the distress that they are experiencing. It is a relationship in which the consumer discusses & comes to an understanding of the problems that are bothersome. It is an enormous investment. Success depends as much upon the active involvement of the the one(s) seeking help as it does on the severity of the problems. I enjoy working with people, and helping them to understand themselves & their relationships with others for the purpose of health & wellbeing. All relationships during times of conflict involve a process of sorting: mine, yours, and ours. This is the value of self-knowledge, knowing what is yours — what belongs to you, what isn’t — what doesn’t belong to you, and what your contribution to the conflict is.
