The purpose of therapy is to help you get beyond a state of elementary survival -to a place where there's energy to be creative, the drive to motivate yourself, some space to take a walk, and perhaps time to attend a class. You may ask yourself constantly: "Isn't there more to life than struggle? Instead of walking in circles wouldn't it be nice to expand your horizons and gain a new perspective? Therapy is the place to do such things. It's a safe environment to become more awake and to develop more fully your genuine Self. I will serve as your guide and assistant as you explore and decide what is best for you -- at your own speed, through reflection, consciousness, dream work, and courage. And as Henry Thoreau once stated: It takes two (a relationship) to speak the truth, -- one to speak, and another to hear. Finally, therapy for me, is the honest exchange between people. This experience is not often to be found in the "outside world" where expectations and the judgments of others are ever ready to make themselves known.
