Anxiety
Anxiety has a way of overwhelming people to feel like they are not able to handle times of stress. I work with clients to identify what is causing their anxiety and build awareness into why they are feeling anxious. Through exposure therapy I outline ways they can decrease their anxiety responses and help them gain the skills to work through their anxiety versus wanting to run from it.
Depression
Depression has a way of lying to people due to the negative thinking that comes with it and makes them feel hopeless, helpless, and possibly even worthless. It impacts so much of someone's life and it makes it hard to cope. I work with my clients to identify the thoughts and feelings that trigger and maintain their feelings of depression. It is important in therapy that clients feel empowered and learn how to feel more in control of their depression. Happiness is an internal job!
Relationship Issues
In life we have a variety of relationships that can be stressful because it involves more than just you and your feelings. Most of the issues that cause stress in a relationship are lack of communication, lack of boundaries, feeling unloved or not supported, mistrust, hurt, and anger. I work with clients to stay solution-focused to identify the problem and gain insight into what are the real issues causing this stress. I then teach the necessary skills to improve the issues at hand so that my clients feel they are gaining the coping they need to feel happier inside and that will transfer into their relationships as well.
