Healing from Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma

Many individuals come to therapy because anxiety or depression is interfering with their daily lives, affecting their self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. These challenges can manifest in various ways—losing connection with loved ones, struggling with productivity at work, or feeling overwhelmed by persistent nervousness or sadness. Even when symptoms aren’t completely debilitating, they can still prevent people from fully engaging in and enjoying life, leading to a sense of disconnection and frustration.

While anxiety and depression can sometimes have biological roots that may be addressed with medication, research shows that talk therapy is highly effective, particularly when emotional and environmental factors play a role. Whether symptoms are mild or severe, therapy provides tools to reduce distress, regain a sense of control, and foster a more fulfilling and balanced life. By working together, we can explore the underlying causes of your struggles and create a path toward greater resilience, happiness, and personal growth.

Trauma can take many forms and impact us at different stages of life. While some experiences are profoundly devastating, others may be more subtle yet still deeply challenging. Trauma can make it difficult to build trust and connections, create barriers to intimacy, and even lead to patterns of abusive or unhealthy relationships. Many individuals experience symptoms such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, or nightmares. In therapy, I tailor my approach to your unique experience, creating a safe and supportive space for healing.

Trauma can stem from childhood experiences of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, growing up in a homophobic or unsupportive environment, or being bullied. It can also develop after a single distressing event, such as a car accident or witnessing violence. My training in sensorimotor psychotherapy allows me to integrate traditional talk therapy with cutting-edge neurobiological approaches, helping the mind and body process core emotions more effectively. By working with these body-mind-heart connections, I can help you reclaim your sense of vitality, creativity, and capacity for love. Healing is possible, and together, we can create a path toward greater resilience and emotional freedom.
