Anxiety
Anxiety is a common yet often overwhelming experience that can affect every aspect of your life. It can manifest as persistent worry, physical tension, and a constant sense of dread. In therapy, we work together to identify the root causes of your anxiety and develop practical strategies to manage and reduce its impact. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and personalized coping mechanisms, we aim to empower you to regain control and live a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Social Anxiety
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel daunting and isolating. It often involves an intense fear of judgment or rejection in social situations, leading to avoidance and distress. My approach to treating social anxiety includes creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your fears and develop effective communication and coping skills. By gradually confronting these fears in a supportive environment, you can build confidence and learn to engage more comfortably and authentically with others.

Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad; it can be a debilitating condition that affects your mood, energy levels, and overall outlook on life. In our sessions, we will explore the underlying factors contributing to your depression and work on strategies to break the cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), we will strive to help you rediscover hope, purpose, and joy in your daily life.

Relationships & Attachment
Relationships are a fundamental part of our lives, yet they can sometimes be a source of significant stress and conflict. Whether you're dealing with communication issues, trust problems, or simply struggling to connect, therapy can provide valuable insights and tools to improve your relationships. Attachment styles, formed early in life, can profoundly influence our adult relationships and emotional well-being. In therapy, we will explore your attachment history and its impact on your current life, helping you develop more secure and positive relationship patterns. By addressing these deep-seated issues, we will work to ensure that your relationships become a source of support and fulfillment rather than distress.
