How I work with you
We begin with what is troubling you today. I explore your feelings and recurring patterns in how you relate to yourself and others, in the context of your life and experiences. Together, we consider how some of your responses developed, what they may protect you from, and what they cost you now. We agree on goals that fit your needs, addressing distress while developing understanding and greater freedom of choice.
