Emotional Health: Counseling, Support & Healing
I have always been interested in emotional health. I have extensive experience helping individuals in need of emotional and mental healing, including residential treatment centers, therapeutic wilderness programs, refugee survivors of torture, low-income immigrant students, and other counseling and Social Work experiences. I am able to support you with just about any challenges you may be facing, however here are the areas where I have advanced or specialized expertise:
PTSD / Adult Onset TraumaThe experiences from our past sometimes continue to cause problems for us today. When you experience PTSD you may feel nervous or on edge, you may have difficulty falling or staying asleep, you may experience nightmares or racing thoughts, or a wide range of other challenges. I work with you using a variety of techniques, such as EMDR, so you can start to feel relief quickly.

AnxietyAnxiety can affect every aspect of our life whether we feel stressed, worry all of the time, or experience panic attacks. I provide you with an individualized approach to help you experience relief. I can help you train your brain to feel calm and restore a sense of control to your life.
|
DepressionDepression can take the enjoyment out of our lives. It may be difficult to get out of the bed in the morning, to feel motivated to do things that are good for us, and we may no longer feel pleasure from the things that we used to enjoy. I am skilled in treating depression using methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I will help you to feel like yourself again.

Work-Related StressWork stress can cause us to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, unmotivated, or trapped. You may remember the enthusiasm that you felt when you started your job. We unintentionally activate stress responses that cause us to shut down, or cause us to worry about coming into work each day. I will help you to map out the aspects of your job that activate your stress responses and teach methods for deactivation.
