Why Psychotherapy?

Most of us live lives that are full of stressors, from personal to planetary. And many of us are self-critical and have high expectations of ourselves. We often find it difficult to be at peace.

Psychotherapy is a powerful tool for enhancing mental health and overall
well-being.

There are a lot of misconceptions about therapy. Some people believe that it’s only for people who have something “wrong” with them. The reality is, we all face difficult circumstances, and sometimes they become especially hard. It makes sense to reduce those stressors. Therapy provides a structure towards resolution. In fact, research consistently shows that individuals who participate in psychotherapy often report increased life satisfaction and happiness. (Journal of Clinical Psychology, 73(4), 478-486).

The goal of working together in a confidential therapeutic relationship is to relieve emotional pain. In partnership, we’ll work to reduce your anxiety, stress, and malaise. We might address some problems in difficult life circumstances. We might work on letting go of the stressful perspectives you carry about your life and relationships. Probably a bit of all of the above!
