If you’re wondering how you get caught in dysfunctional relationships or why you act in unhealthy ways, now is the time to do something about it.  When you enter therapy, we will clarify what you are looking for and identify behavioral practices that will begin you on a new path of growth. I will teach you to pay attention to the present moment. Pema Chodron, the Buddhist monk, writes, “This very moment is the perfect teacher.”  How much are you on auto-pilot going about your day?  Today, life is busy, distracting, and often fragmented. Therapy can be a haven to just Be, and a time to put everything in perspective.

Humans are social beings – the way we grow and change is in relationship to other people. It is very hard to change when one is isolated and shut down. The same is true for relationships. The heart of the problem when two people are stuck is their focus on the other person’s faults and all the ways they would like that person to change their bad behavior. It is next to impossible to change another person. Really, the only person you have control over is yourself. What are you willing to do in order to have a more loving relationship?
