The Chinese character for crisis is a merging of the symbols of both “danger” and “opportunity.” In our belief the danger is that we do not deal well with the crisis and that things get worse. The opportunity is that we grow and new possibilities emerge.

Life includes pain, loss, discomfort and emotional challenges. It always has and it always will. Therapy is a support which invites you to move from feeling “stuck” in pain or struggle, into living a life that you love.

As therapists, we do not do something to you. You define the areas in which you hope to grow. You set your goals and we help you achieve them. Our work with you is an integrated experience of both cognitive and experiential. It is tailored to meet your specific desires, needs and dreams.

Therapy offers a safe and accepting place that is absolutely focused on you. Our style is highly interactive and we offer you opportunities to practice how to be authentic in your relationships. In the time that you spend with us at the office you can practice honesty with your therapist, receive immediate feedback on your thinking and relating styles and develop behavioral skills that you can carry back into your life.

The commitment of time, resources, finances and energy to this process is an investment in your greatest asset...you.
