I use various modes of therapy in my practice - not all clients are the same. Together, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. You aren't broken, your life is like a mosaic lamp - and I urge you to google what they look like on. Each piece is an experience that made you, YOU. I'll help you find that light again to shine.
