GRIEF & LOSS
Grief and loss tend to transcend words. As someone who has experienced traumatic loss, I understand that along with grief can come hopelessness, emptiness, and feeling paralyzed. It tremendously affects the way we see the world and ourselves in it. It causes an alteration to your consciousness. Whether you are in the throes of raw grief or grappling with how to integrate it into the long-term, therapy can help you find the ground beneath your feet.
With expertise in various types of grief, including bereavement, traumatic loss, and anticipatory grief, I'm equipped to navigate the intricacies of your experience. Whatever your circumstances are, I am committed to understanding and supporting you through this challenging time.
PSYCHO-ONCOLOGY
Psycho-oncology is a specialized field of psychology that focuses on the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of cancer. It acknowledges the profound impact that a cancer diagnosis can have on an individual's mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. My expertise lies in addressing these holistic dimensions, which encompasses coping with the emotional impact of cancer, managing treatment-related stress, and navigating the uncertainties that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. As someone who has also been through cancer, I hold a unique kind of understanding of what we silently go through.
My approach involves tailoring therapeutic interventions to address anxiety, depression, grief, and the complex array of emotions that may arise during different stages of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Wherever you are in the stages of being impacted by cancer, I am here to guide and support you.
TRAUMA
What is it? Trauma refers to an emotional, psychological, and/or physical response to an event or series of events that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope and disrupts their sense of safety and well-being. Traumatic experiences can range from single incidents, such as accidents or assaults, to ongoing situations like abuse or chronic stress. The impact of trauma can be profound, affecting one's thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships.
Whether you've experienced a recent trauma or are dealing with the lasting effects of past events, I'm here to provide the compassionate guidance and therapeutic tools you need to navigate the impact of trauma.
PERI/POSTPARTUM & FERTILITY
Pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are significant life transitions that can evoke a range of emotions. I understand the complexities of peripartum mental health, offering support for issues such as prenatal and postpartum depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders. Fertility struggles can be emotionally taxing, affecting individuals and couples on a profound level. My therapeutic approach addresses the emotional impact of fertility treatments, coping with uncertainty, and navigating the complex decisions involved in the fertility journey.
