Counseling Specialties
Depression & Anxiety
Anxiety and Depression are emotions that many of us have experienced at one time another. In session we can process your thoughts and feelings which can bring relief and lead to improved emotional states.
Trauma & PTSD
Anyone can experience a traumatic event and many of us have already. Anxiety, flashbacks, panic attacks, painful memories and images are often triggered because of the exposure to trauma. In session clients are educated about the impact of trauma on the brain and body. Clients are given the treatment and tools to heal, recover, and live the best life possible.
Relationships
During these sessions, couples come to discuss their concerns in a safe environment with an objective and understanding professional.
Couples are encouraged to express their concerns, emotions, and behaviors that may be the cause of a break down in communication and intimacy. Learning how to identify and correct faulty communication patterns often assists the healing process and increases intimacy. This allows for relationships that were once healthy to become healthy once again.
