People often seek therapy when they feel out of their depths in some way, or have the sense that a more purposeful or meaningful life remains out of their grasp. Sometimes a specific problem surfaces. Sometimes there is just a subtle feeling that something is amiss.

It can feel intimidating to seek therapy — like embarking on a path into the deepest woods. Psychotherapy can be likened to traveling through these woods alongside someone trained and experienced in navigating the wilderness. Undertaking the path together, it becomes more possible to move bravely into the dark, scale the hills, descend the slopes, become curious about the landscape, and explore uncharted terrain.
