Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. Many of our pitfalls, our "relapses" in behavior, are related to maladaptive patterns with family or intimate partners. Our work in therapy is to understand these patterns and learn how to change them. If depression is dwelling in the past, and anxiety is living in the future, our therapeutic goal is to live in the present, towards a more authentic and mindful reality.

If the only thing constant is change, why is it often so difficult? Making the move from college to adulthood, job transitions, adjusting to parenthood, figuring out who you are following a break-up, a medical issue, the loss of a loved one. Life is a constant transition, throwing our values and ideals into question and forcing us to re-examine our identities, our choices, and our goals. While change can be overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be faced alone. Having a safe space to work through what’s difficult can lead to increased self-awareness and understanding, and lasting improvements in well-being and life satisfaction.
