Sometimes dealing with life's problems can feel overwhelming. Seeking help can feel difficult too. Personally, I take an integrative approach. We would look at all the factors in your life, your history, your health, how you’ve been coping or dealing with your situation, and what you would hope to accomplish, i.e. how would you like things to better. Trained heavily in cognitive behavioral therapy, it is a dominant model in my work, which on a simple level means we’ll look at your thoughts and feelings and how those may be impacting your behavior.
