Do you have a sense you’re trapped in life and feeling uncertainty about your next steps?
-
Clients often describe anxiety as a relentless cycle of worry and fear, which makes even simple tasks feel overwhelming. They often struggle with constant feelings of dread, tension, and an inability to relax or enjoy life, leading to avoidance behaviors and significant distress in various aspects of their lives.
-
Clients experiencing depression often describe feeling overwhelmed by a pervasive sense of hopelessness, emptiness, and disconnection from life. They may struggle to find motivation, experience constant fatigue, and engage in self-destructive behaviors as they grapple with feelings of worthlessness and a profound inability to experience joy or meaning.
-
Clients struggling with substance use issues often describe feeling trapped in a cycle of addiction, experiencing overwhelming guilt, shame, and a loss of control over their lives. The constant battle between cravings and the desire to quit, along with the impact on relationships, finances, and mental well-being, creates a sense of isolation and fear of seeking help due to societal stigma.
You can heal, find inner strength, and reclaim a sense of purpose and joy in life.

What I offer can help

Therapy for Trauma & Anxiety
Comprehensive support can manage symptoms of trauma and anxiety, guiding you towards a place of calmness and resilience. Through collaborative discussions, we customize techniques like relaxation, mindfulness, and grounding to suit your unique needs. With trauma, we may explore the past to achieve understanding and closure, ensuring it no longer hinders your present or future. For anxiety, we focus on reshaping your inner narrative, fostering acceptance, and empowering you to navigate life with greater ease and resilience, ultimately helping you recognize the growth you're making along the way.
-
Therapy for Depression
I provide tools to address symptoms of depression, including poor sleep, self-care neglect, hopelessness, and lack of motivation. Together, we'll implement behavior activation techniques to gradually tackle avoided tasks at your preferred pace, activating your body to influence your mindset positively. Through discussions on negative self-talk, we'll revise your inner dialogue to enhance self-confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, we'll explore the concept of self-compassion, fostering patience and understanding towards yourself instead of self-criticism.

Therapy for Substance Use
I provide treatment for substance use disorders, catering to individuals who are motivated to break free from the cycle of substance use. Together, we'll explore the function of substance use in your life, identifying triggers and barriers to change. Through open discussions, we'll challenge these barriers and I'll equip you with practical tools to implement positive change. My goal is to empower you to overcome obstacles and embark on a journey towards a healthier, substance-free lifestyle.
