Many people come to therapy because something painful has happened — a divorce, a lay-off, a break-up, a death. Others choose to see a therapist because they sense the possibility of a better life — a real relationship, a more satisfying career. 

Either way, therapy is a quest to feel out and reveal what we normally keep hidden. To think what may sometimes seem un-thinkable. And in doing so, to discover and accept who we truly are, on a deep level. It often involves grief, but it also invokes joy.  

My clients have reported some of the following benefits:

• Greater self-understanding and self-acceptance.
• Decreased anxiety and happier mood.
• Better boundaries, and more ease with saying no.
• Ability to get on with their lives after an abusive relationship or a devastating divorce.
• Significant reduction in couples conflict, due to better communication and greater understanding.
• More satisfying romantic relationships.
