THERAPY

Our world is moving at such a fast pace that anxiety is the number one mental issue in America today.  Many people don't identify they are living a chronically anxiety ridden lifestyle until their physical health starts to be affected. Balancing responsibilities, work, family life, children, friends, traffic, etc. can be challenging.  

Over 50% of people diagnosed with depression also suffer from anxiety.

Learning tools and techniques can greatly reduce anxiety and improve physical health as well.

Depression affects many Americans today and there has been a recent increase in adults and adolescents dealing with the symptoms.  About 1 in 10 people will experience depression during their lifetime with women at a higher risk. 

Many factors can contribute to depression: divorce, recent move, career changes, and family conflict.  Psychotherapy can help people identify the negative cycle and shed some light on aspects of concern.

Sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed by experiences that are beyond our control. Natural disasters, accidents, illnesses, abuse, life transitions and assaults can alter how we perceive our world and changes how we feel about our lives.  Distress can develop over a long period of time or occur from one specific event.

I use mindfulness, acceptance, and understanding to shed light in these areas so clients can work through them in a proactive manner.  I also am a  Certified Domestic Violence Group Facilitator and Therapist through Haven Hills 40 hour program.

Coming from a Marriage and Family background, relationships are the foundation of our lives. As relational beings we are shaped by our families and friends as well as environment and experiences. Since every person is unique with their own traits and characteristics, relationships can often be challenging.  Whether the relationship is between family members, couples, or friends, each person shares in the relationship.  

Learning how to communicate is the first step to creating meaningful and enriching relationships.
