Services – The Mind Matters

Mens Issues

We as men sometimes feel inadequate, undervalued, overworked, and emotionally disconnected. These feelings affect your behavior and in turn can negatively impact you and your family. As a Husband, Father, Brother, or Son you have the opportunity to make a real impact in your family and community. We will work to understand and develop a healthy sense of masculinity by being vulnerable and honest with one another during our sessions. Im excited to see the the progress that can be made within you and your family unit.

Fertility/Maternity issues

Difficulty getting pregnant can be one of the most challenging obstacles to overcome. My past several years of experience was working specifically with women and reproductive health. Common challenges faced by my clients included infertility, the loss of a child and Pre/Postpartum depression. I can help you overcome the overwhelming anxiety, crippling grief, and endless exhaustion you may be feeling. We will also work to strengthen the men around you to help them support you during this life transition.

Anxiety

Are you experiencing excessive nervousness, uncontrollable physical symptoms, or panic attacks? If you are then you may benefit for a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral therapy and supportive therapy. For my clients with anxiety, we first identify negative/anxious thoughts then work together to develop a treatment plan focused on minimizing anxiety symptoms, The development of coping strategies including pace breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation can be useful tools to take control of your anxiety.

Depression

Feelings of hopelessness, isolation, cognitive deficits, and a loss of joy can be debilitating and impact your ability to function in daily life. My approach to address depression is integrated using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychotherapy. Together we will identify thoughts and behaviors that are maladaptive and furthering depressive symptoms. We will restructure your thoughts and actions in a way that leads to improvement in your life. Improvement is possible with the right approach and support.

Trauma

Being a victim or witness of violence can devastate your ability to live life. Common trauma symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and disassociation. For adults I use a trauma informed approach that includes aspects of prolonged exposure and narrative therapy. With teenagers and adolescents, I use the Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy framework. Overcoming your traumatic experiences is possible with the proper interventions and support.

Grief/Loss

It is an unfortunate truth that we will all experience loss at some point in our lives. Whether your loss is expected or unexpected it is “normal” to be confronted with feelings of anger, depression, and guilt. We will work to normalize your grief and I will help you navigate the path ahead. With adequate support, introspection, and time acceptance is possible.
