Areas of Practice
I can help with any issues you may be having, Come to us as you are, and experience therapy. Below are a few examples of how I have helped other people..
Anxiety
Anxiety is excessive worry and this can tense the mind and body, leading to panic attacks, breathlessness, and palpitations. I can help you ground yourself and train your mind by restructuring negative thought patterns and behaviour.
Depression
It's more than just sadness or low mood—it's a feeling of "All is lost, and nothing makes sense." I work with this sense of helplessness by providing a safe space for clients to be themselves. Then, I introduce them to hope and its transformative power, motivating them to make positive lifestyle changes.
Substance Usage
It's all right to chill with a beer, but when you need to drink/smoke/take substances to function or even cope with life, it becomes an addiction. I work by exploring the core reason for your substance use and can guide you though it by helping you resolve any trauma or fear assosiated.
Panic Attacks
A cycle of worrying thoughts leads to increased anxiety. A sudden surge of anxiety, seemingly from nowhere, is a panic attack. I help individuals understand how the anxiety cycle begins and guide them to explore the concerns that typically trigger these attacks.
Uncovering Life-Scripts
Feeling like being stuck in a loop can be frustrating. I can help you by exploring your past for unhealthy coping patterns and identify if they are healthy or not. Together, we can set meaningful goals and move away from these unhealthy patterns, helping you get a script free life.
Tailored interventions
I love using metaphors and storytelling to help you better understand your journey. Therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all solution and I am excited to see what fun games and exploration I can do with you.
