The essence of mind is formless;

This itself is the subtle body of reality. 

The essence of mind is inherently empty; 

This itself is the infinite body of space.

Setting goals for treatment in psychotherapy is an important and complicated process. Change is desired and feared. The possibility for a successful experience in therapy depends on the understanding and openness about these conflicting experiences. I bring a perspective to this work that embraces the formless and inherent emptiness of the therapeutic space where we can accomplish these goals. As in the essence of mind there is an essence of a shared endeavor to change. By remaining formless the subtle body of reality has infinite possibilities for change. By remaining empty we bring these possibilities into the infinite body of space. The dynamics of change are not hindered by rigid beliefs of incompetence. They are allowed to be fully experienced and  understood in a non judgmental and compassionate manner. Our work cultivates a joy associated with the discovery of new found insights and abilities to be more effective in managing life.
