Life's ups and downs often lead us to develop coping methods that don't always serve us well. When faced with stress or unexpected situations, we may become confused, frustrated, withdrawn, or combative. Sometimes we need help developing positive coping skills to handle life's challenges. I'm here to provide that assistance.
