Beginning therapy reflects courage—the courage to confront what has become intolerable, to enter what can be an uncomfortable encounter with problems, and at times with oneself. I see my role as a collaborator who helps people strengthen their resolve, clarify what matters most, and bring long-standing patterns of suffering to an end.
