We all have suffering in our lives-- it's part of human experience. Too often, however, there is a layer of unnecessary psychological pain caused by unconscious defenses. We often resist painful feelings and the realities they point to. When we get stuck in our resistance we get emotionally sick and our suffering increases. I work together with patients to honestly and compassionately untangle, face, and accept the truths they've tended avoid on their own.
The human person is a mystery, but therapy shouldn't be. Together we'll efficiently achieve clear consensus about the internal conflicts you are facing and what we'll need to do to support your healthy goals. Most of the time this will involve helping you see your anxiety and defenses and building your capacity to accept and feel your hidden feelings.
Life is hard, too hard to face alone. But in relationship it can be bearable and livable. In therapy we'll form a relationship for change and an alliance focused on your goals and priorities. Together we'll support your healthy side and help you bear your experience, your will, and your desires.
