Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.
– Dr. M. Scott Peck Life is Good® –Life is Good, Inc. Most of us don’t need reminding that our lives can be difficult. We strive, we struggle, and some of us truly suffer. At times many of us feel that we are not up to the task at hand. We may feel lost and may need someone who cares to stand with us and help us find our way. This may be a wise family member or friend, or it may be a clergy member or a therapist. The good news is that life, like love, friendship, parenting, dancing, and most other things worth doing, is both difficult and good. My goal as a therapist is to partner with clients to help them recognize and make use of their own unique characteristics and strengths to create the change they seek. I focus on strengths and success and recognize that change almost always occurs in many small increments, each of which deserves celebration. I pay particular attention to the quality of the relationship that we create together with the knowledge that the strength of that relationship is the biggest predictor of success in psychotherapy. My goal is to work together with individual clients, couples, and families so that the difficult no longer overwhelms the good. |
