What I can help you with.
These are just a few examples of concerns people bring to me. Let me know what you’d like to work on!
Anxiety.
Anxiety is a crippling force that moves through your body. It shows up in the body in one of three pathways: It moves through the smooth muscles, your digestive tract, and your striated muscles (muscles you can voluntarily contract and control, as in breathing, or clenching your hands or legs). It can cause fuzzy thinking or make you lose focus, interfering with your cognitive thinking. To regulate that anxiety, I can teach you to have control over it and to find new clarity, so anxiety no longer rules your life.
Depression.
Depression is characterized as a low mood. You might feel really poorly about yourself, lack confidence or motivation, or want to “hide under the covers” from life. As we look together at the source of your depressed mood, we would aim to uncover ways you have been turning your feelings about external problems back on yourself. As we explore refocusing your feelings outward in the world appropriately, you will begin to gain a new clarity, the depression will lift, and you will find new freedom from the suffering caused when you turn your upset back onto yourself.
Relationships.
People surround our lives. As we navigate the world, we often find it difficult to navigate relationships with those we love and care about, and those in the work environment. I can help you learn to understand the relationships in your current life. By linking that understanding to what happens in the therapy setting and also in what has happened in your past, we can work to heal unresolved relationship issues and work towards more open, honest, and caring relationships — with yourself as well as with others.
