The Therapeutic Process

Growth, Healing & Life Transformation

Clearly, I believe in the process of therapy. You may or may not, and either way is fine; we can believe for both of us for a while. I have witnessed and been a part of tremendous healing and growth of people and between people.

It is important to understand that for many people therapy is life-changing. People often modify their emotions, perceptions, and behaviors, and these shifts may lead to transformative changes with employment, spirituality, and relationships.

I strongly encourage including significant other people such as partners, children, parents, and friends in the process when appropriate. Even individual changes impact those around you, and building a supportive environment is essential to sustainable growth.

Therapy requires a commitment of time, energy, and money. When you choose to work with me, we will create a plan together. I commit to encourage you to be as active and honest as possible, and I promise to be active in our work and give you continuous feedback and assessments throughout the therapeutic process.
