“The curious paradox is that
when I accept myself just as I am, then I change.”

~ Carl Rogers

If you are thinking about starting therapy,
you’ve already taken the first step toward changing your life.

You have recognized that you’re not yet living your fullest, most vibrantly joyful existence. Maybe you’re depressed or anxious or something traumatic has hindered you from moving forward in the way you want. Maybe your relationship with your significant other isn’t working the way you believe it should. Something has to change.

So where do we begin? I believe that you have a wise, true self that knows what is needed. Our task together is to find our way through the layers of protection (which you’ve developed for very good reasons) to that true self. In couples counseling, each partner can start to speak to the other from that true place and at last be heard and accepted by the person who matters most. Likewise in individual therapy: change happens from the inside out when, as Carl Rogers says, you start to accept yourself just as you are.

When you are ready to examine your life–to see what’s working and what can be improved–I invite you to get in touch with me.
