We all experience various forms of anxiety and mood dis-ease in our life-times. Most often we sort out our inner and outer discomforts without too much difficulty ; sometimes we need to sit with a trusted person, who can share skills, knowledge, and life built wisdom to support you toward new awareness, strengthened relationships, and improved health.
We treat common issues from life stage adjustments, depressions, anxieties, to complex trauma.
Some common issues you may experience….
Depression
There are different types of depression. I see depression as a response to past or current environmental stressors on the mind or body. It is best to explore your individual experiences in order to help lift the heavy feelings of depression. Depression has personal causes and is best treated individually and holistically.
Anxiety
Unmet needs equal anxiety. Anxiety is a natural way our body and mind tells us something is not as we need it to be. It is important to explore the conscious and subconscious causes of anxiety. Unmet needs can mean ‘not enough of something’ or ‘too much of something’. Balancing the gratification of our needs is when we feel most comfortable.
Relationship difficulties/conflict
Friendships, Couples, Families can be wonderful when working well. People do their best to relate to each other but sometimes old patterns get in the way, and conflict or harm can occur in individuals or whole families. Taking time to explore your ‘family of origin’ patterns and dynamics helps us to notice (mindfulness) our learned parts and roles.
