Specializing in Anxiety, Grief, Depression and LGBTQ+ issues
Anxiety
When working with anxiety, I create a safe and understanding space to explore its underlying causes and triggers. Through evidence-based therapies like CBT and mindfulness techniques, we address distorted thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies. I help you gradually face and manage anxiety-provoking situations, enabling you to regain a sense of control, reduce distress, and experience a greater sense of well-being.
​
Depression
​In addressing depression, I approach it with empathy and a commitment to uncovering the underlying causes. Together, we explore your thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns, aiming to identify and challenge negative beliefs. Through evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I support you in developing effective coping strategies, fostering self-compassion, and cultivating a sense of hope and empowerment.
Relationships
In navigating relationship issues, I provide a neutral and non-judgmental perspective to help you understand and address relational challenges. Through open and honest communication, we explore patterns, dynamics, and underlying emotions. I facilitate effective communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and personal growth, empowering you to create healthier and more fulfilling connections in your relationships.
LGBTQ+ care- Gender Identity and Sexuality
With a deep respect for diversity and inclusivity, I provide a non-judgmental and supportive space for individuals exploring their sexuality and gender identity. I aim to understand your unique journey, offering a safe platform to express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Whether you're questioning your identity or seeking guidance through transition, I provide compassionate guidance, empowerment, and resources to support your self-discovery and navigate the challenges you may face.
Trauma
When working with trauma, I approach it with the utmost sensitivity and understanding. I create a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore and process your traumatic experiences at your own pace.
Through compassionate listening and validation, I help you explore the impact of trauma on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify and challenge any negative beliefs or distorted perceptions that may have developed as a result of the traumatic experience. By developing coping mechanisms, grounding techniques, and relaxation strategies, we work towards reducing distress and managing triggers effectively.
I prioritize your autonomy and ensure that you are actively involved in the therapeutic process. We focus not only on healing the wounds of the past but also on developing resilience, fostering self-compassion, and rebuilding a sense of safety and trust in yourself and others. I provide guidance and support as you navigate the complex journey of healing from trauma, empowering you to reclaim your life and create a future filled with hope and possibility.
Bereavement Care
When providing bereavement care, I approach it with deep empathy and compassion, recognizing that grief is a unique and personal experience for each individual. I create a safe and supportive space where you can freely express your emotions, memories, and thoughts related to your loss.
In our sessions, we will explore the various stages of grief, allowing you to process and make meaning of your loss. I provide a listening ear and validate your emotions, helping you navigate the range of feelings that may arise, including sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion. Together, we work through the challenges of grief, allowing you to find acceptance and ultimately integrate the loss into your life.
I encourage self-care practices and provide guidance on coping strategies tailored to your specific needs. We may explore techniques such as mindfulness, journaling, or creative expression to help you honor your loved one and find moments of solace amidst the pain.
Throughout the bereavement care process, I prioritize your individual needs and respect the unique cultural and spiritual beliefs that shape your grieving experience. I offer ongoing support as you adjust to life after loss, providing resources and referrals to support groups or other professionals who specialize in bereavement care if necessary.
My aim is to accompany you on your grief journey, providing a compassionate presence, and helping you navigate the complexities of loss. Together, we will work towards finding healing, meaning, and the ability to cherish the memories of your loved one while embracing a renewed sense of hope and purpose in your own life.
