While these varied individuals presented with different issues and concerns, one universal that I have often been struck with is the client's struggle to be real and accepted in full. Barriers to being real contribute to life problems and stem from a multitude of areas including early learning, families of origin, low self-esteem, traumatic experiences, and personal beliefs about oneself, others and the world. In therapy, I believe that it is my job to illuminate and explore the barriers that prevent people from being fully themselves. In order for the client to be fully real, I as a therapist strive to be as real, honest, direct and non-judgmental as I can. In therapy I hope to cultivate a real relationship with each client.
Real relationships are intense, joyful, frustrating, enriching, and rewarding.
Real relationships offer constant opportunities to learn about ourselves and grow.
