However, since it is the only constant in life, why not choose to direct its path?

My practice role consists of my being absolutely dependable, patient, compassionate, and able to employ my twenty-plus years of education and experience.
Your role in my practice is to be consistent and patient and to try to say whatever comes to mind without editing or censoring. This is much easier said than done, but it is the only way to get through the underlying conflicts and pain that always manifest in present-day behaviors.
