My approach to therapy

We take time to understand where the client is during the intake process. Clients are met with empathy and understanding. Clients complete a thorough intake and provide additional information during the session to develop clarity about what they believe needs to be addressed. Homework is assigned between sessions to help clients further explore and build awareness of things that occur in their everyday lives.
