Address challenging life experiences and relationships, allows you to take a deeper look at personal patterns and relevant history.
The structure of your therapeutic work includes completing two personality assessments that we use throughout our time together. Application of personality assessments are used to facilitate awareness and options for change, and most of all, acknowledging and understanding your natural way of living in the world - including both strengths and challenges.
