Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Sometimes, it is hard to believe that physical symptoms such as shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, trembling or muscle twitching, and feeling like fainting could be attributed to anxiety
and no other medical condition.
Anxiety can be present with or without your awareness of the reason. High levels of stress can interfere with your daily activities and make simple tasks difficult to confront.
You might avoid situations and places to stop feeling nervous or to avoid
having a panic attack.
I help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears and learn practical skills to manage your anxiety to feel more in control.
Therapy for Depression
Feeling depressed negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act.
When you feel depressed, you may lose interest in activities you once enjoyed, feeling that nothing fulfills you and that a deep sadness envelops you.
You might also feel worthless or hopeless, and like nobody understands you, leading to a false perception of being lonely.
You don’t have to live with depression! Depression is highly treatable, and even when you think nothing will change, it does.
In our sessions together, I will provide you with different effective treatments to achieve both relief and peace.
Therapy for Parents and Adolescents
As a parent, you might be unsure about what type of parenting style would instill good values and responsibility in your children.
It is difficult to raise children and put limits or boundaries, especially when you feel that their social lives and peer pressure influence their behavior.
Adolescents face different challenges.
They might be dealing with body image issues, social media pressure, bullying, or adjusting to new situations.
It is also very common for adolescents to feel pain because of breaking up a relationship or a friendship.
Sessions will provide a rich opportunity for parents to understand family patterns and consciously create a family style where everyone feels understood.
And for adolescents, sessions offer the opportunity to work through all the challenges that the teenage years bring.
Therapy for Single Women
Searching for a life partner can be overwhelming, and you could feel tired and hopeless.
Being single is difficult!
You might experience social pressure and loneliness.
Unsuccessful experiences with dating apps and blind dates might make you feel you “have bad luck in love,” that “you will never find the one,” or that “there is something wrong with you.”
Change is possible!
It is not simply about finding a man to date or start a relationship with.
We will work through recognizing your worth, creating a behavioral plan to increase your dating
network, understanding your patterns and habits, understanding why you can’t move on from
your last relationship, and building self-confidence.
Therapy for Abusive Relationships
At the start of a new relationship, it’s not always easy to tell if it will later become abusive, especially when the partner appears highly charismatic and lovable at the beginning.
Possessive and controlling behaviors don’t always appear overnight and may emerge and intensify as the relationship grows.
You might be finding yourself not letting go of the relationship as you hope “it could be like the beginning again.”
One feature shared by most abusive relationships is the abusive partner tries to establish or gain power and control through different methods.
The session will provide you with the space necessary to identify red flags of an abusive relationship and the strategies you need to process the grieving of the harmful relationship.
In this journey, you will also learn how to develop long-lasting, meaningful and satisfying interpersonal relationships.
Therapy to Improve Self-Love
When you are not feeling well within yourself, you might fall into a pattern of giving more than you receive just to have others’ company.
You might also have difficulties setting boundaries, or you might fear rejection or criticism.
When you have low self-esteem, you depend on the opinion and validation of others to feel good.
Working on self-esteem issues means dispelling myths such as “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not loveable,” or “I’m not important.”
Remember: the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.
How you feel inside is what you will project and attract.
Sessions will allow you to find yourself. I help you to recover the sparkle you have within and gain the confidence you need to shine!
