Self-Esteem and Shame
Feelings of insecurity and uncertainty are a natural part of life. However, certain situations can exacerbate these emotions, leading to stress and self-doubt. Toxic relationships or rejection may trigger excessive self-criticism, while unresolved past experiences can also contribute. Understanding the source of these negative voices and identifying your needs is crucial in building self-confidence.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be an overwhelming emotion that hinders our ability to think clearly. It can capture our attention and leave us fixated on feelings of fear, unease, worry, dread, or nervousness. This is applicable whether the anxiety stems from a sudden trauma or crisis or from prolonged and continuous stress. Everyone has the power to manage their emotions and find inner peace,
Depression
It can make a world of difference in our lives to feel accepted, even with our imperfections. When that's not the case, we become demotivated and isolated, even to ourselves. There're many reasons why we feel stuck in dark places. Most often, there's an unmet need underlying our pain, and a longing for it. With patience and acceptance, one can find enough motivation to live a fulfilling life.
Personal Development
It's not unusual to experience a feeling of emptiness without an apparent reason. Sometimes we're going through transitions and need clarity around how change is happening, or perhaps nothing is actually changing, but we feel like something is missing. It's natural to take a break and reflect on the direction and purpose of our lives so that we can live in accordance with what's important to us.
Trauma and PTSD
It's not the events themselves that traumatize, it's the fact that those events occurred, and there was no support or time to recover from them. I use Focusing-Oriented Therapy to work through the effects of overwhelming experiences stored in us. I strive to create an environment to experience the presence and deep empathy necessary to access your own capacity for healing and recovering from trauma.
Interpersonal Trauma
Experiencing harm from other people, whether they are strangers, acquaintances, friends, or loved ones, can cause deep emotional wounds. It can be extremely difficult to overcome the pain caused by interpersonal traumas, especially if they happen repeatedly. Every individual responds differently to such situations, but every experience is valid and deserving of understanding and support.
