If you decide to see me, we will work towards achieving the goals you have identified in therapy. Together we will identify the factors needed to change unhealthy and undesirable emotions and behaviors while improving coping skills. I believe in not only working on changing negatives factors, but also building on strengths and increasing resiliency to stress.
