Anxiety
Anxiety is a feeling of worry or fear, like an alarm going off when there's no danger. It's normal before a big test or interview, but sometimes it sticks around, making it hard to relax. It can cause a fast heartbeat, sweating, or restlessness, and even interfere with your daily activities and relationships. If anxiety affects your daily life, we can work together to find strategies to manage it.
-
Depression
Depression is a deep sadness or hopelessness that lasts a long time. It can make people lose interest in things, have trouble sleeping, feel tired, and struggle to concentrate. Depression isn't something you can just "snap out of," but with the right support and treatment, things can get better. Together, we can find ways to cope so you can start feeling like yourself again.
-
Grief & Loss
Grief is the deep sadness we feel when we lose someone or something important. It can affect us in many ways and cause feelings like sadness, anger, or confusion. Everyone grieves differently, and there’s no right or wrong way to feel. Over time, grief doesn't necessarily get smaller, but we grow around it, finding ways to cope and move forward while keeping our memories close.

Trauma + PTSD
Trauma is a response to deeply distressing events like accidents, violence, or loss, leaving you feeling helpless, anxious, and disconnected. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after such events, causing intense thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, and constant unease. These conditions can disrupt daily life and relationships, but therapy can help you process these experiences, paving the way toward recovery and renewed control over your life.
Therapeutic Approaches
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a type of talk therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected.
The idea is that negative thinking patterns can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. By identifying and challenging these unhelpful thoughts, you can develop healthier thought patterns that lead to more positive feelings and actions.
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that empowers you with practical tools to manage and overcome anxiety, depression, and stress.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps manage intense emotions and improve relationships through cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness.
It focuses on being present and aware (mindfulness), coping with difficult emotions (distress tolerance), managing emotions effectively (emotion regulation), and improving communication and relationships (interpersonal effectiveness).
DBT is useful for emotional regulation and relationship issues, providing practical tools for a more balanced life.
-
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps heal traumatic experiences and distressing memories. It’s based on the idea that our brains can heal from psychological trauma like our bodies heal from physical wounds.
In an EMDR session, you focus on a traumatic memory while the therapist guides your eye movements. This process helps reprocess the memory, reducing its emotional impact.
The goal is to make the memory less intense and more manageable. EMDR is effective for PTSD, as well as anxiety and depression.
