I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with Christian principles in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, we explore coping techniques in order to improve your quality of life.
