MY AIMS FOR PATIENTS

The immediate goal of therapy is to relieve suffering. More broadly, I aim to help my patients grow in the direction of greater wholeness and authenticity. Through our work together, they gain a better sense of the people they really are, a clearer sense of the courage they have shown, and greater insight into the logic of their past choices.

This kind of self-understanding and self-acceptance always leads, in my experience, to a fuller life. My patients discover the range of possibilities that are open to them in the present. They start to experience the freedom of thought, feeling, and action that really is their birthright.
