Anxiety
Anxiety is something that can impact everyday life. I work to teach you about anxiety and its potential uses. We also explore ways to describe and rate different levels of anxiety you might experience. When your anxiety levels are high and it is difficult to manage issues, we will work on using relaxation and grounding techniques to reduce anxiety and stress.
Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad. It can be something that can be insidious in nature and impact all aspects of a persons life. I use a strengths based approach and often will utilize some Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help with changing some of the thought patterns. I often attempt to asses your strengths and use this as a foundation for working. Many times we are taking care of ourselves in ways we do not realize.
Grief
Grief is as unique as the individual and we all have our own process. I want to create an environment for you to be able to delve into your grief process and promote healing. I utilize ritual and some mindfulness practices to support you with your unique grieving process. Even though we all experience grief differently, it will be helpful to have someone to speak to and to support you during this period of time.
Relationship Issues
Processing relationship issues can sometimes be difficult and unclear. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to process your own thoughts and feelings. It is through your self awareness and expression of vulnerabilities that a deeper understanding of yourself may arise.
In many situations their is a loss of a relationship and a new found identity as a single person. I have supported individuals who have become single later in life and have benefited from understanding the newer technological landscape, which has become part of our dating culture.
In addition to supporting individuals that have recently become single, I also support people with understanding their own thoughts and feelings when they are in relationship with someone. These relationships can be of the romantic, sexual and/or platonic. There is no judgement when it comes to building connections with others.
