·         Increase coping

Together we will explore ways to help you meet your personal goals.

Services

The first time we meet in person, we will discuss any concerns you have and go over personal history which may impact your distress.  If you are being seen with your partner or in group therapy, each client will be identified.  We will discuss your personal goals for treatment and any alternatives available to help you.
