I receive each patient's trust as a privilege, and treat with deep respect, the counseling process for each person. It's common to connect with patients, then within a short while, observe them opening up. We may start with chats about anxiety or depression, and then canvas more spheres of their life. I'm down to help with career development, financial aspirations, improving interpersonal relationships, overcoming deep griefs and traumas, and more... I'm game for it all.
