About this blog

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist and my primary theoretical orientation is Narrative Therapy. I find the ideas of narrative therapy and the conversations that develop with my clients to be so rich, so life-giving, and at the same time so practical, that I wanted to find a way to share those ideas with others outside the walls of the therapy office. I hope you enjoy reading, and find some value in these posts. Please note that this blog is not intended to provide therapy nor to be a substitute for therapy.

Pausing at Suffering

Therapy is about many things. And it is often about suffering.
 

…People loving each other but suffering because they can’t seem to make their relationships work better. 

…People knowing what they want but suffering because they keep encountering obstacles, sometimes the same ones over and over and over. 

…People not knowing what they want but suffering because they’re sure there’s something “better than this.” 

…People suffering because their actions and choices have hurt others and yet they’re hurt themselves, by those same people, and there’s no clear way out. 

…People suffering because there’s too much risk, too much vulnerability between where they are and where they want to be.
