Client Perspectives on Therapy
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

Self-Discovery is Self-MasteryTherapy is a journey of self-discovery that is unique to each individual. Its path is marked by courage, hope, and perseverance. I am often amazed and humbled by the courage and commitment my clients exhibit in the pursuit of the lives they envision for themselves. I am grateful to be a part of each journey as we navigate challenges and celebrate successes. Therapy is comprised of both.
Recovery and healing are about creating positive change in your life. Most individuals enter therapy seeking change. Change takes time and commitment to the goals you define for yourself. The role of a therapist is to help you find the path(s) that can best lead you toward fulfillment of your needs and aspirations. Therapy is about empowering you in your life. Together, a therapist works with you to help you clarify your thoughts and actions so that you are more attuned to problem-solving methods that are healthy, meaningful, and serve your life. It's a process of self-discovery. Sessions can help explore the meaning you find in the past, present, and future. Our time may explore the life skills you have today and those you seek to improve for your future. Sessions can also explore how you uniquely approach relationships to yourself and others at home, work, or leisure. Regardless of the exploration(s) you wish to pursue in a session, the role of a therapist is to listen openly and guide compassionately within a framework of professional ethics, clinical expertise, and respectful boundaries. If you or someone you know are considering therapy, you may find it helpful to read about what clients have to say about their journey. They are the experts in their personal journeys and I am appreciative of their willingness to share their perspectives. Additionally, some of the tools on our site were created by clients.
