Your life is a story, full of significant characters. There are scenes that you live out and roles that you play. Through the sharing of your story, with trusted others, you come to understand how key characters and scenes in your life have shaped you and contribute to who you have become.

Reflecting and sharing your story helps you see important themes you continue to play out in your significant relationships keeping you from the joy, connection, and peace you desire.

Counseling is an incredible opportunity to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors and how they impact relationships and life experiences.
