Integrative methods are utilized in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience, and how your past influences your present. You will learn yourself on a deeper level, elicit change, and respond to things better. Let's have fun!
