Emotional Health and Wellbeing

---

Most of us experience periods of sadness or loss, but depression can feel heavier—like a fog that’s hard to lift. It may show up as exhaustion, hopelessness, irritability, or feeling disconnected from joy and purpose. These experiences are real and can be deeply painful.

In therapy, we explore the underlying emotions, patterns, and core beliefs that may be contributing to your depression. Together, we work toward restoring balance, meaning, and self-compassion. Using mindfulness and present-moment awareness, you’ll learn to recognize your thoughts and feelings without judgment—creating room for healing, renewal, and hope.

Anxiety can show up as worry, tension, or a constant sense of unease that keeps the mind racing and the body on alert. It can interfere with sleep, concentration, relationships, and self-confidence. While these feelings can be exhausting, they are also signals from the nervous system that something inside needs care and attention.

In therapy, I help clients understand how anxiety operates—both mentally and physically—and develop tools to calm and regulate the body’s natural stress response. Using mindfulness-based approaches and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), we work to identify and release the deeper experiences or memories that may be keeping anxiety in place.

Together, we create ways to ground in the present moment, observe anxious thoughts without judgment, and gently challenge the core beliefs that fuel fear or self-doubt. Over time, you can learn to meet life’s challenges with greater steadiness, clarity, and compassion toward yourself.

Frustration and anger are natural emotions, yet many people are taught to suppress them or express them in ways that create more pain. Beneath these feelings, there is often hurt, fear, or a sense of powerlessness waiting to be understood. When frustration or anger go unexamined, they can strain relationships, fuel shame, or keep us stuck in cycles of resentment and regret.

In therapy, I help clients explore what lies beneath these emotions and learn to express them in healthy, constructive ways. I draw from several modalities, including Mindfulness and EMDR, to process the deeper experiences that trigger reactive responses. Through awareness and practice, anger and frustration can become guides toward insight, clarity, and emotional strength.

Together, we develop tools for self-regulation, communication, and understanding—helping you transform reactivity into connection and greater peace within yourself and your relationships.

Grief and loss can be disorienting and deeply personal. Whether the loss involves a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a stage of life, it can stir a wide range of emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, even numbness. There is no single way to grieve, and healing rarely follows a straight line.

In therapy, I help clients gently explore their experience of loss and learn to hold their feelings with compassion and acceptance. Drawing from several modalities and integrative approaches, we work together to process painful memories, calm the nervous system, and honor the meaning of what has been lost.

Having faced profound grief myself, I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. Together, we create space for healing—one rooted in presence, understanding, and the gradual rediscovery of peace and connection.

Fear often arises when we’re faced with change—whether it’s a career shift, relationship uncertainty, aging, or stepping into the unknown. Even when change is necessary, it can stir feelings of worry, confusion, and self-doubt. We may feel stuck between wanting something different and fearing what might come next.

In therapy, I help clients explore these fears with compassion and curiosity, uncovering the beliefs and patterns that may be holding them back. Drawing from several modalities and integrative approaches, we work to understand what’s driving the fear and how to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Whether you’re navigating a career change, seeking a new sense of purpose, or confronting deeper questions about identity and direction, therapy can help you reconnect with your strengths and approach change with courage and self-trust.

Many people experience tension around food, appearance, and self-worth. What begins as a desire to feel healthy or in control can become a painful cycle of comparison, guilt, or shame. These struggles are rarely just about food—they often reflect deeper emotions such as anxiety, depression, or a longing for comfort and acceptance.

In therapy, we explore the underlying feelings and beliefs that shape your relationship with your body and your nourishment. Drawing from several modalities and integrative approaches, including mindfulness and somatic awareness, I help clients develop greater compassion for themselves and a more balanced connection with food, body, and mind.
