I believe therapy can be a gift—a pause from life's stressors and a chance to view your experience from a new perspective. Therapy can also be challenging—it asks us to be honest, to reflect deeply, and to shift patterns that may no longer serve us. Meaningful change happens in the context of a strong therapeutic relationship.
