Expert Counseling for Mental Health, Fertility Struggles, OCD, and Relationship Concerns
Anxiety
Generalized anxiety can be a frustrating problem. If you find yourself worrying excessively, you probably feel like your mind starts racing and nothing you do can slow it down. Anxiety is the body’s response to stress, and occasional anxiety is to be expected. However, if your anxiety is negatively impacting your normal level of functioning, it may be time to seek additional support. I would like to work alongside you on your journey of healing and try to help you see that there can be a way forward.
Infertility
Infertility and the struggle to conceive can be an overwhelming and often invisible grief process. Many individuals and couples experience emotional pain and loss without the societal support or acknowledgment they need. The inability to conceive can lead to feelings of shame or the belief that something is wrong with them, but it’s important to understand that conception does not define your worth. Therapy can provide a safe space to process these complex emotions, helping individuals and couples heal and move forward without judgment.
Postpartum Depression & Anxiety
Postpartum depression and anxiety are common mental health challenges that affect women during pregnancy and after childbirth. These conditions can cause a range of emotional and physical symptoms that make it difficult to enjoy daily life or function effectively. Postpartum depression and anxiety often arise due to hormonal changes, extreme fatigue, and the psychological stress of adjusting to motherhood. Addressing these issues is crucial for new mothers to regain emotional well-being and navigate the transition to motherhood with support
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most challenging mental health conditions, often causing significant emotional and psychological distress. Many people mistakenly associate OCD only with neatness or orderliness, but the disorder has a wide range of symptoms, including intrusive obsessions and repetitive compulsive behaviors. If you’re struggling with OCD, you may find it difficult to talk about your thoughts and might try to hide your behaviors from others. Don’t lose hope – OCD is more common than you might think, and with the right therapeutic support, you can learn to manage and reduce your symptoms. You have the power to heal and regain control over your life.
Depression
Depression can be quite painful. It might feel very isolating and a lot of those dealing with depression often report feeling like no one will understand. Whether you experience intense sadness almost every day or you are dealing with a lack of motivation, energy, and excitement for your life, there is hope. I am here to be with you through those tough times and work together to try to build on the awareness and the skills that may help to effectively manage your symptoms.
Relationship Issues
Relationships are a huge part of our lives. From the moment we’re born, we’re connected to others in the world. Therapy can help you understand and improve experiences with those close to you including partners, family members, coworkers and friends. Quality relationships DO take work! Even people whose families and relationships look “perfect” experience struggle and have to put in the effort to be meaningful and lasting. But just because it’s effort, doesn’t mean it’s a chore.
Trauma
Trauma can have a profound impact on many aspects of life, often leading to powerful and painful emotional challenges. What qualifies as trauma is deeply personal and can vary from person to person, depending on individual experiences. Whether you are dealing with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) or emotional scars from past events, therapy is an effective and long-term solution for healing. It’s normal to feel anxious or uncertain about beginning trauma work, but rest assured, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we will proceed at a pace that feels comfortable for you, helping you process and heal from the trauma that’s been holding you back.
Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem can make everyday life feel challenging and painful. It involves negative thought patterns and behaviors that lead to a lack of self-confidence and poor self-worth. The symptoms of low self-esteem can differ from person to person, and each individual’s experience is unique. Whether you struggle with self-doubt, feeling unworthy, or fear of judgment, therapy for low self-esteem can help you uncover the underlying causes of these feelings. Through therapy, you can develop healthier thought patterns, rebuild self-confidence, and cultivate a more positive, empowering sense of self.
Career Counseling
Career counseling can provide you with the clarity and direction you need when you’re unsure about your next steps. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by choices, career counseling can help you gain insight into your skills, passions, and values, allowing you to make informed decisions about your future. By working with a professional counselor, you can develop a clear action plan that will empower you to pursue a fulfilling career, achieve your professional goals, and create the successful future you deserve. Take the first step toward a career that excites you and aligns with your true potential.
