What is Psychotherapy Like?

In private, confidential meetings we will have conversations about many
aspects of your life. We will also work with heightened awareness by using
meditation and somatic (body awareness) techniques to explore and follow the
subtle wisdom of your inner experience. Rooted in the present moment, this
work is deeply honest and accepting. The learning that occurs is mostly
nonconceptual and expresses itself naturally in your daily life. I may
encourage you to use various awareness disciplines on your own, to support
and enhance the therapy.

The process may involve integrating your personal history and your present
reality, strengthening your ability to make healthy choices, and learning to
use the many aspects of yourself. My primary work is to help you be in touch
with yourself as fully as possible, with interest and compassion. Doing this,
you find within yourself the answers to problems and the directions you need
to take. At times I may point out possibilities you haven't considered, that
I think might help.

Sessions may be held with one individual, or may include more people -- a
couple, members of a family, friends, or a small group. The meetings are
usually about an hour long; their frequency depends upon your needs and
situation. Therapy may be regular or intermittent, brief or long-term.
