What Is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a unique, intimate relationship.  You share your deepest personal concerns with me and I genuinely listen.  I am eager to help you speak your mind as thoroughly as you possibly can.  With curiosity, deep interest and seriousness I listen to you not only for content, but also for meanings and psychological aspects of your personality, and I share my understandings and interpretations with you.  This experience of being listened to and deeply understood restores your natural ability to heal and grow.

In our psychotherapy work together, we share mutual goals of not only symptom relief, but also of real and lasting changes in you.  An effective psychotherapy experience increases your capacity to love, to work and to live more fully.
