MY SPECIALTIES
YOUNG ADULTS AND ADOLESCENTS
One kind of work I enjoy is with young adults and teens who are making the transition to adulthood and need a little help navigating those waters. Learning to be a responsible, confident adult isn't easy, and I've had good experiences helping in that journey.
PORNOGRAPY ADDICTION
Despite the alarming prevalence of pornography addictions, people regularly experience tremendous isolation (often self-imposed) when struggling with this issue. Many people think they are alone in their battle with pornography, or view it as too shameful to even bring up or seek help for. I assure you, I've heard it all, and I want to help you through this! You won't be judged or condemned, just supported, encouraged, and equipped with tools and techniques to help you overcome this destructive addiction.
DEPRESSION
One of the most common conditions, depression can be debilitating and can suck the joy and energy out of life, making it hard to even find the hope that things can ever improve. Even though it's common, depression is usually also very treatable; there are many approaches backed by outcome studies showing their effectiveness, and I want to help find the right approach for you.
ANXIETY
Anxiety, like depression, is among the more common conditions people face. Sometimes it's specific to situations, other times it's a general sense of impending doom, but like depression, it can often be treated with great outcomes. Start the conversation and see if we might be a good fit for one another and whether we can't work together to improve your quality of life.
FAITH
STRESS & TRAUMA
Trauma can be one of the more difficult subjects for people to get help with, but it's also something that can have a bigger impact on the day-to-day than people realize. It's also noteworthy that trauma is largely subjective; what's traumatic for one person may not be for another, but if it's impacting your life, we should address it. Don't feel like your issue isn't significant enough to deserve attention. I endeavor to create an environment where discussing the difficulties of trauma isn't overwhelming, and where true, lasting healing can take place.
Matters of faith are commonly relevant in the therapy session. They usually shape our worldviews and are the lens through which we experience life. Of course, not everyone will have the same perspective as I have, and that's okay. It is not necessary for you to share my views in order for us to still work well together. Whatever your views, I am ready to explore how it influences your life and will respect your perspective.
