No book has been written about every single client. Therefore, my first focus is to gather as much information about you as possible. Gaining this information is impossible without trust. So our first task is to build trust. You need to feel that you are not being judged, and that I respect your dignity and integrity. I also view my clients from a developmental perspective.

Therapeutic techniques are tools that are reply to specific problems or issues. While some are generic tools that help with most problems, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, others are more specific.
