A client-centered approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for each person’s story to guide the pace and focus of treatment.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
