If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions. The struggle exists when we learn and understand that today’s decisions were informed by the many experiences of many yesterdays. We want today’s actions to provide tomorrow’s happiness, leveraged on yesterday's chaos. I have built a career on understanding that change is scary, but necessary. If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.
Going to therapy is a choice. It is an act of trust, a willingness to share your secrets with another person, in hopes of change. I honor your time and energy, and am eager to help you work toward your best future. We will work as a team to develop a strategy for your success. I believe we best reach our goals by making them feel both important and possible.
As John Lennon said, “life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” My goal is to be with you, here today. We will work on the yesterdays, and sometimes that will be hard or scary. But we will do it together, and you set the pace. Remember, in my office, you are the boss. I will help you walk or run toward your best hopes.
