Everyone is different and comes to therapy with their own story and their own idea about what they'd like to gain or what they want the process to feel like. Regardless of any experience the therapist has, the individuality of each person should be respected above all else.

People who tend to find success working with me have an idea of goals they'd like to meet and want a safe space to share ideas, feelings, and thoughts.
