Areas of Expertise
Anxiety
In our sessions we work on coping with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings (social anxiety); sudden and intense feelings of panic (panic disorder). I will provide techniques and support to overcome intense fear, anxiety, and panic related to specific triggers, such as heights or crowded spaces.
Depression
In our sessions I will provide support and promote healing of hopelessness, low motivation and energy, sadness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and loss of interest and pleasure in life.
Childhood/Developmental Trauma
In our sessions I work with adults and assist them in processing emotional, physical, and sexual abuse from the past. I assist clients in recalling challenging memories and finding effective tools to be in the here and now. I work with my clients to ease the pain of the past and to live in peace in the present.
Grief/Loss and Bereavement
In our sessions we work on recovering from the death of a loved one, chronic illnesses, divorce, loss of a job or disenfranchised grief. I work with clients to process their feelings of shock, fear, guilt, anger, and sadness and to move towards healing, resiliency, and acceptance.
