Navigating Life’s Challenges with Compassionate Support
Anxiety
Anxiety can be overwhelming, but understanding its roots is key to managing it. I approach anxiety through the lens of early attachment challenges, epigenetics, and somatic awareness, helping you regulate your nervous system and find calm. While techniques like DBT, CBT, yoga, and possibly medications may be part of your journey, we will work together to address the deeper causes of your anxiety and develop effective coping strategies.
Depression
Depression often stems from complex interactions between our biology, early experiences, and current circumstances. I take a holistic approach to depression, focusing on how early attachment and epigenetics contribute to your emotional state. Together, we’ll explore somatic practices and other therapeutic techniques to help you find relief and regain a sense of purpose and joy in your life.
Grief
Grief is a natural response to loss, but it can feel all-consuming. In our sessions, I provide a compassionate space for you to process your grief, honoring your emotions while helping you find a path forward. By focusing on the mind, body, and spirit, I support you in navigating this challenging time and finding ways to heal.
Stress
Stress affects every aspect of our well-being—mind, body, and spirit. I take a solution-oriented approach to managing stress, helping you identify and address its sources. Through a practice that integrates mental, physical, and spiritual wellness, I empower you to achieve a balanced and more fulfilling life.
Women's Issues
Women’s issues are deeply intertwined with societal roles, life stages, and relationships. I support women in exploring their relationship with themselves and others, addressing issues related to gender inequality, and navigating the challenges that come with different stages of life. Together, we’ll work on building self-esteem, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering a deeper connection to your true self.
Self-Esteem
Building self-esteem is crucial for living a fulfilling life. In our sessions, we will focus on understanding the factors that have shaped your self-esteem, including early attachment experiences and societal influences. I provide the tools and support you need to embrace your strengths and cultivate a positive self-image.
Domestic Violence
If you are experiencing or have experienced domestic violence, know that you are not alone. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can process your experiences, rebuild your sense of self, and regain control of your life. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and tailored to help you navigate the complexities of healing from abuse.
