Areas of Focus


Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions. They often present as excessive worry, persistent rumination, physical tension, or panic symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. When left unaddressed, anxiety can significantly impact quality of life. Therapy can help individuals understand the underlying patterns contributing to anxiety and develop effective, evidence-based strategies to manage symptoms and improve overall functioning.

Depression

Depression is a mood disorder that can significantly impair emotional, cognitive, and daily functioning. It often affects motivation, energy levels, relationships, and overall quality of life. When left untreated, symptoms may become more persistent and disruptive. With appropriate, evidence-based treatment and support, individuals can reduce symptoms, improve functioning, and work toward restoring a sense of balance and engagement in their lives.

High Conflict Families

Individuals with parents, siblings, or partners who have personality disorders often experience elevated levels of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. The relational and emotional demands of these dynamics can significantly impact psychological functioning and overall well-being. Therapy can help individuals understand these patterns, process the emotional impact of these relationships, and develop healthier boundaries and coping strategies.
