The focus of therapy is to help clients change their lives from the core out. The goal of our therapy sessions is to establish a safe, non-judgemental relationship where together we can address the dynamics that hold one back from finding the contentment that they deserve.
Using a supportive, intensive, short term, dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP), we can uncover and address the unhealthy, anxiety causing patterns that are perpetuating unhappiness as quickly as possible.

“Spiritual teachers often exhort us to be loving and compassionate, or to give up selfishness and aggression, but how can we do this if our habitual tendencies arise out of a whole system of psychological dynamics that we have never clearly seen or faced, much less worked with? People often have to feel, acknowledge, and come to terms with their anger before they can arrive at genuine forgiveness or compassion.”
– John Welwood, from Toward a Psychology of Awakening
