Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem” carries a line about cracks being where light enters. In photography, the aperture is the opening that controls how much light reaches the film.

In therapy, something similar happens: the places where things don't hold together perfectly, where something previously outside awareness becomes visible, are often where important material comes through.

The name Aperture holds both of those ideas. It comes from my background in black-and-white darkroom photography, and from a belief that careful attention to what has been kept in shadow can create space for understanding and change.
