“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.”

                                                                                                      –Jim Rohn

     There is, in all of us, incredible potential that is as of yet untapped.  If it were not so the world would be  a far better place.  The world becomes what it should be when each of us reaches our full potential.  The problem is, of course, that most of us hold back for a plethora of reasons.  We may have come to believe that there is safety in the shadows or we think that our contribution is not worthy or perhaps there is a deep sadness or brokeness that we dare not even name and so live behind it.  There are endless reasons for not becoming and not growing and all of them are alike in that they are excuses.  However there is no excuse that should keep any of us from realizing our deepest and most vital true self.

     In our lives we live and grow in a world not of our own making.  Parents and teachers and even friends shaped our reality.  There comes a time in every life, though, for each of us to claim who we truly are and follow the journey made for us.  Until we do we shall not be happy or fulfilled. 

    Fortunately, each of us has within a guide that does lead to our truths.  The unconcious is a right brain function that houses who we essentially are.  The work of therapy is to discver the clues and pathways that the unconcious provides.  Ironically, this path is often aided by the challenges and problems we are encountering in life.  The ways that we are unhappy, troubled, dysfunctional, are all clues to finding our way.  Therapy considers all such information and moves toward what is authentic for each person.  In other words this therapy shall make you free. 

    There is no one so impaired who cannot join this journey.  I work with people considered psychotic with great success as well with people who seem completely "normal"...and the whole range in between.  No matter the trouble all that is needed is the commitment to begin.  Your life can begin again now.  Please call.  I dare you.
