Anxiety
Experiencing occasional anxiety is a natural part of life. However, anxiety disorders can manifest as recurring episodes of worry and fear, or sudden intense anxiety accompanied by physical sensations, known as panic attacks. Your anxiety may be triggered by specific events or thoughts, or it may seem to arise randomly and without a clear cause. These feelings can be challenging to manage and are often disproportionate to any actual threat. Anxiety can be triggered by various factors, including changes in school or work, unhealthy lifestyle habits, excessive stress, a predisposition, unresolved fears or phobias, or trauma. It can develop at any age, and if left untreated, anxiety that starts in childhood or adolescence can persist into adulthood. In therapy, we will explore how anxiety is impacting your life and work together to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals, aimed at enhancing your well-being.

Self Esteem
Self-esteem is a complex concept that is often difficult to define. Many of us struggle to describe what it truly means and how it is reflected in our lives. In today’s digital age, social media adds another layer of complexity to this topic, particularly for adults and teenagers. Some may mistakenly equate self-esteem with the perception of popularity and approval on social platforms. However, true self-esteem originates from within.
Constantly criticizing yourself and belittling your achievements can be signs of low self-esteem, especially when these behaviors are driven by comparisons to others. Psychotherapy has been proven effective in treating low self-esteem, helping individuals of all ages address deeply ingrained negative thought patterns through cognitive-behavioral techniques. Together, we will work towards restoring your ability to value, trust, and take pride in yourself.
