“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” -- Thich Nhat Hanh

If you asked 10 people off the street about therapy and the nature of hope, they might come up with something like, "Well, people go see a shrink when they have lost hope and they just can't go on like that." What would you say if you were asked that question?

I believe that hope is inherent in any intimate conversational contact between two people. Hope is, perhaps, the very spark of human communication. We have a basic desire to understand and to be understood. Good therapy helps you to deepen and enrich the relationships you have with yourself and others by nurturing the spark of hope within you. I think most people come to therapy because even when they are at their most down and out because hope still shimmers in the horizon and is reason enough in itself to seek counseling.

Quite a few of my clients are busy people with very full lives. I often fit my schedule around folks who need late appointments, or would like to meet on the weekend. When you call or email me, I'll give you a list of open time slots for that week. I never charge for a phone consultation to see if we are a good fit as therapist/client collaborators.
