Therapy often begins in crisis. Sometimes, a client finds that after the crisis stabilizes, he or she is ready to move away from therapy and resume life's routine. In other cases, the crisis is a springboard for deeper work around a range of concerns. A regular therapy schedule over time can be a powerful tool and experience but so, too, is living life and exercising therapeutic growth within it. Together, we'll be attuned to where you are and where you'd like to be.
