I take the therapeutic relationship very seriously, so I will spend a lot of time trying to get to know you, to understand what is causing obstacles in your life, and to identify what you would like to ge...

A friend recently asked me how to find a therapist who would really fit for her sister. She wanted someone more extroverted than introverted, and realized that this isn't always the easiest thing to pick up from a blurb on the the interwebs.
