Therapy is a collaborative approach. I will work with you to understand your presenting issues and goals. We may explore your past experiences and how they relate to present day, but we will mostly focus on your current challenges and how you want to move forward. Sessions are client-focused and we discuss only what you are comfortable sharing at your own pace.
