I use a variety of techniques when working with clients. I find that being able to use different tools helps to be able to meet the client were they are at and helps in making the therapy more effective. I work with clients who struggle with marital issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Mosts of my clients feel comfortable to open up and express a gradual improvement of symptoms.
