About

In my experience, few individuals come to therapy feeling that a diagnosis adequately captures their difficulties, hopes, and fears. Instead, the people I work with sometime describe feeling blocked in their ability to express themselves authentically, preoccupied by past relationships, or confused by partners who have not supplied more. Some individuals may even have difficulty initially finding the right words to describe the things they'd like to change. Finding these words-the right words-to describe what's wrong and what relief would look like is a central part of treatment and not often perfectly clear at the beginning.
