Behavioral and Mental Health
Life can seem like a rollercoaster ride filled with highs, lows, and unexpected twists - a journey marked by moments of joy and sorrow, triumphs, and defeats. At times, the weight of our experiences can be overwhelming. We feel lost, disconnected, like we are stuck in a cycle of endless struggle.
You don't have to navigate this journey alone. I am here to offer a guiding hand, a listening ear, and a safe space to explore the complexities of your behavioral and mental health.
Addiction can take on many forms. Whether it's substances, behaviors, or relationships, it becomes a relentless force that can leave us feeling trapped, isolated, and powerless. But the reality is that we are not defined by our struggles – our struggles, our addictions, they are part of us, but we are so much more.
Addiction is not a moral failing; it is a complex interplay of biology, environment, and psychology. Breaking free from the grip of addiction may feel like a hopeless, uphill battle, it is not impossible.
Through acceptance and commitment, we can embark on a journey of recovery, one step at a time to uncover the roots of your addiction, develop coping strategies, and chart a path towards healing and recovery and a steadfast commitment to our own well-being.
Grief and loss are universal experiences that touch us all at some point in our lives. Losing someone we love, whether through death, divorce, or the passage of time, leaves an ache in our hearts that never quite heals. But amidst the pain, there is beauty – a recognition that grief is not the enemy, it is a natural part of the human experience.
Our grieving experience is a natural consequence of our capacity to love and connect. Together we can create a space for you to honor your loss, explore your emotions, and even find new meaning and purpose in their wake.
For many of us, trauma is not just a distant concept but a lived reality, etched into the very fabric of our being. Whether it’s the echoes of childhood abuse or the scars from harrowing events in our adult lives, trauma shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. We can feel trapped in a cycle of fear and avoidance.
Many of us have learned to carry these scars with a quiet dignity, bearing witness to our own suffering, perhaps reaching out a hand to others in need while downplaying or ignoring our own suffering. You are not alone nor are you confined to the narrative of victimhood. You are resilient.
Through therapy and mindfulness practices like ACT, I can help you learn to reclaim your self-compassion, your power, rewriting the narrative of your life so you proceed forward with courage, strength and confidence.
