Therapy for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Issues of Self-Worth
In addition to my 35 years specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and issues of negative self-worth, I also actively support clients with anger and stress management, insomnia, and ADHD.
Moreover, my holistic approach addresses these challenges through tailored therapeutic techniques, often incorporating elements like mindfulness, ecotherapy, and sensorimotor methods to foster lasting healing and resilience.
To learn more about the core disorders I focus on, explore the images below.
Trauma And PTSD
When a person’s reaction to a situation is more intense than warranted, it is possible that they are reacting to a past traumatic experience. Trauma therapy makes it possible to break the connection so one may respond to these triggering events rather than react.
Negative Self Worth
We see ourselves based on our interpretation of past experiences. When one is plagued by negative self beliefs, evidence contradicting these beliefs does not register. One may be cognitively aware of what is true, but on an emotional level the negative belief overpowers.
Depression
Depression actively manifests through persistent sadness accompanied by feelings hopelessness, and helplessness. “A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious… it’s impossible to see the end.” Elizabeth Wurtzel
Anxiety
In simple terms, anxiety is a tendency to lean into the future. It is categorized by worry and/or fear. It robs us of the experience of enjoying the present. Although some may have a more anxious constitution, anxiety often has its roots in the past. It makes sense.
