“Every human being - without distinction of sex, age, race, skin color, language, religion, political view, or national or social origin - possesses an inalienable and untouchable dignity.” Hans Kung
Anxiety/Panic Attacks
Anxiety and stress are normal reactions to the busyness of our current lifestyles. However, anxiety becomes a problem when it interferes to the extent that we cannot cope with our day-to-day activities in stride, and/or the interference lasts for an extended period of time. At times anxiety and stress can become debilitating and cause panic attacks and panic disorder. I have an approach that consists of getting to the biological, physiological, cognitive, emotional and spiritual roots of anxiety. With the proper treatment, you can overcome high anxiety and panic disorder.
Trauma/PTSD
Varying types of trauma may be physical, emotional, psychological, sexual or spiritual. It may be as a result of abuse, or may be as a result of an accident. It may be something lived through childhood, the effects of which may resurface as PTSD in adulthood, or it may be from a recent occurrence. I offer therapeutic interventions that can help diminish the recurrence of symptoms and restore a sense of peace.
Depression
Depression may be situational or physiological and may gradually become overwhelming. It can feel like you’re walking around with weight on your shoulders and heavy boots on your feet. Your energy is sapped, and you’re tired but you can’t sleep properly. The sadness can be crushing. Studies indicate that therapy can have a great effect on improving depression, especially when coupled with medication. Therapy can help you process the emotions that are connected with depression. As I walk with you along the road to recovery, we can explore the root causes, and apply two integrated therapeutic methods that are known to be helpful such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy.
