Perhaps there is no more healing, sustaining and enriching experience in life than one given by the opportunity to understand oneself and others. Psychotherapy is uniquely suited to provide this experience. It's a place where difficulties can be explored both safely and meaningfully. One's problems might emerge during a personal crisis; or perhaps, one's problems have become clear only over time. In either case, a successful psychotherapy can bring vitality, better connections to others and success in achieving one's life goals. As a therapist, I approach my patients with the understanding that thoughts, feelings, and actions are motivated by needs. Needs can lead to both adaptive and maladaptive solutions. Knowing yourself enables the kind of awareness that can lead to a happier and more sensible engagement of life.
