Some areas people come to therapy to focus on are:
Anxiety
Feeling overwhelmed, worrying too much? Having distressing thoughts that are uncontrollable and causing irritability? Let me help you get these symptoms under control so you can focus more while at school, work and/or home.
Relationship issues
Problems with a spouse/partner? Therapy is a great place to learn new relationship skills and gain new perspectives. Let’s create a healthy relationship together.
Depression
Feeling helpless, unhappy, unmotivated, like you don’t want to get out of bed? Let’s get you back on track to enjoying activities you used to and feeling happy. It is possible.
Trauma
Problems with flashbacks, acting out, feeling inadequate, not having healthy coping skills? Let’s establish a safe environment for you to learn coping skills, boundaries, and rational thinking about yourself, others and the world.
Substance Use Disorders
Using too much? Using to numb the pain or self-medicate? You do not have to be ready to be done using to enter counseling to address substance use disorders. We can work on harm reduction (using less) in order to increase your safety or the consequences your using causes.
Grief
Having difficulty getting over a loss and/or anticipating a loss? Therapy can help to teach the stages of grief and loss, you can talk about how you relate to those stages, and we can find a creative outlet for you to express yourself and your hurt.
