Mary has helped me categorize my issues and provided helpful tools to combat the relationship and internal issues I'm working thru.
Reframing what I'm dealing with in a way to be able to understand and work thru it or change the habits I have has been helpful. I'm and was skeptical of therapy because I'm particularly aware of how I feel and how others feel about it but having someone on your side and committed to help you broach tough subjects makes a difference. Thanks Mary.
