Issues Treated
In addition to Trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar and issues of negative self worth, I also work with anger and stress management, insomnia, ADHD, and compulslive behavior. To learn more about the core disorders I focus on, click on the picture 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 is characterized by persistent sadness and a sense of feeling worthless, hopeless, and helpless. In the words of Elizabeth Wurtzel “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.”
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.
