My clients are curious, life-long learners who have a sense that something is missing. They feel as if there is some secret to life that is eluding them.

They can find themself consumed with anxious thoughts about what is “right.” And they often express to me that they have lost their sense of self.

No one aspires to be in therapy indefinitely. My clients walk through the door bearing similar worries, but their real concerns often differ from their initial perceptions. They express desires to "fix my anxiety," "solve my depression," or "quit smoking marijuana." What they're truly communicating is, "I want to flourish, I want to deepen my relationships with those I care about, and I'm weary of these issues."
