I consider relationships as perhaps the key aspect of a person's life. And we all need that sense of "connection"...that's just part of being a human being. We even have a relationship with ourselves, that voice inside of us, that often makes us feel bad about who we are as individuals. And perhaps the most important relationship we ever have is with a therapist, which is why I'll help you find the right therapist for you if I don't fit your needs. That's how important your health is to me.
