Message to clients

I listen carefully and ask a lot of questions to tailor the treatment to your unique challenges, values, and life circumstances. The foundation of any effective therapy is understanding the client. I take an active and practical stance in the treatment, and I check in regularly to ensure that you're finding the process useful and that the therapy is helping you move in the direction you hoped it would.
