Here are some common reasons people seek support:
Anxiety can show up in many forms, from constant worry and racing thoughts to physical symptoms like tension, fatigue, and a rapid heartbeat. It can make it hard to focus, interfere with sleep or even lead to avoidance of certain situations. I help individuals understand and manage their unique experience of anxiety, exploring its roots and patterns while building practical skills to regain control. Together, we will work to empower you to move through life with more confidence and calm.
The transition into parenting can feel overwhelming and exhausting. This period presents unique challenges that deserve acknowledgment and processing. The growing pains of motherhood are common and can lead to heightened feelings of anxiety, depression, isolation, anger and frustration. I am here to help you find balance and a deeper connection with yourself by providing a compassionate space to explore your experiences and emotions. Together, we can work through the unique challenges you face during this time and work towards a healthier, happier motherhood.
Whether stemming from a single event or a prolonged experience, trauma can affect the way we think, feel and connect with others. It might lead to a feeling of being stuck or unable to fully engage in life, or to frequent flashbacks, nightmares or intense emotional responses. Trauma therapy isn’t about rehashing painful memories; rather, it’s about understanding how trauma has affected you and empowering you with tools to manage symptoms and foster healing. The goal of this work is to restore a sense of safety, reconnect with yourself and others and move toward a life less defined by the pain of the past.
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can bring both excitement and stress, often leaving us feeling unsteady or overwhelmed. Changes like starting a new job, moving, becoming a parent or ending a relationship can challenge our sense of identity and stability. During these times, therapy can help you navigate the complex emotions and uncertainties that transitions bring. With compassionate guidance, I am here to help you you make sense of these changes, reconnect with your strengths and move forward with confidence.
