I look at Therapy like a puzzle. Initially, I get to know your puzzle pieces; your background, the experiences that have shaped who you are, and identifying the person you want to be. We process these pieces together by gaining awareness of how they affect you. Over time, we are able to rearrange these pieces into a complete picture of the life you want to lead.
