Each person entering therapy is unique. The issues you bring, your timeframe, and your goals shape the approach that best meets your needs. The most important aspect is providing space for you to share who you are, then using perspectives most helpful to you. I'm guided by your reactions, what you find useful, and the goals we address together.
