Anxiety

Anxiety is more than everyday worry and often involves a persistent sense of impending danger or threat. Common symptoms may include excessive or difficult-to-control worry, restlessness or tension, irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and physical symptoms such as a rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, or digestive discomfort.

Psychotherapy helps treat anxiety by addressing the thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses that maintain it. Through therapy, we work to identify triggers, regulate the nervous system, and develop effective coping tools that foster a greater sense of ease, resilience, and confidence.

Grief & Loss

Grief and loss- whether the loss of a loved one or a beloved pet- can deeply affect emotional well-being, identity, and daily functioning. Whether the loss is recent or longstanding, therapy provides a supportive space to process complex emotions, honor your experience, and find meaning after loss. With care and support, you can move through grief at your own pace while gradually reconnecting with a sense of stability, purpose, and hope.

Mood Disorders

Mood disorders can affect emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning. Conditions such as bipolar-related disorders often involve persistent changes in mood, energy, motivation, and thought patterns. Psychotherapy provides a structured, supportive approach to understanding these experiences, addressing underlying emotional and behavioral patterns, and developing effective coping strategies. Treatment is tailored to each individual and focuses on improving emotional regulation, strengthening resilience, and supporting long-term stability and well-being.

Depression

We all feel down at times, but depression is a mood disorder that can significantly affect how you think, feel, and function in daily life. It often involves persistent sadness, feelings of emptiness or hopelessness, irritability, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. Individuals experiencing depression may also have difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep (sleeping too much or too little) and appetite (increased or decreased), low energy, and, at times, thoughts of death or suicide.

Psychotherapy offers a supportive and collaborative space to understand and work through depression. Together, we identify patterns that contribute to low mood, strengthen coping skills, and help you reconnect with a sense of meaning, hope, and emotional balance.

Life Transitions

Have you been faced with a major life event- break up/divorce, job loss, relationship challenges, a move, changes in family structure, and/or career or spiritual crisis? Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming and destabilizing. Psychotherapy can help you process change, clarify what matters most, and navigate transitions with greater resilience, self-trust, and emotional balance.

Trauma

Trauma can overwhelm the nervous system and disrupt emotional, cognitive, and physical functioning long after the event has passed. Individuals may experience symptoms such as hypervigilance, emotional numbness, intrusive memories, or difficulties with mood and relationships. Psychotherapy for trauma provides a safe, structured, and supportive space to process traumatic experiences and restore a sense of safety and stability. Treatment may include evidence-based approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), cognitive-behavioral and relational therapies, and somatic or mindfulness-based interventions. These approaches support adaptive information processing, improve emotional regulation, and promote resilience, empowerment, and healing.

EMDR

As humans, we have an innate, physiologically based information-processing system that allows us to make sense of our experiences and store memories in an adaptive, useful way. These memories are organized in networks that include related thoughts, images, emotions, and bodily sensations. When a distressing or traumatic event occurs, this natural processing system can become disrupted, causing the memory to be stored in a maladaptive form. When this happens, the unprocessed material can contribute to ongoing emotional distress and clinical symptoms in the present.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain resume its natural healing process. By targeting and reprocessing distressing memories, EMDR can reduce their emotional intensity and help individuals experience greater relief, insight, and adaptive change.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is an evidence-based practice that involves intentionally directing attention to present-moment experiences with an attitude of openness and nonjudgment. Regular mindfulness practice has been shown to improve emotional regulation, reduce physiological stress responses, and increase cognitive flexibility. Over time, mindfulness can support greater psychological resilience, self-awareness, and overall well-being.

Women’s Issues

Women often face unique environmental, psychological, and biological challenges that can significantly impact mental health and overall well-being. When left unaddressed, these challenges may become overwhelming and contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or a diminished sense of self. Therapy can be an empowering first step toward reconnecting with who you are. While the process may at times feel challenging, uncertain, or even scary, you will have a supportive presence alongside you—listening, encouraging, and helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
