"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." Carl Jung

At times in our lives, we experience life as if it is happening to us. We don't know why we get into certain situations and why we are attracted to certain people. Developing your awareness through therapy can help you to navigate your life in ways that are more likely to bring you happiness and satisfaction.
