Depression may run in your family, or can be triggered by an adverse or traumatic life event. It can occur after childbirth or during seasonal changes. 

​

Anxiety is a normal and healthy emotion. During overwhelmed life stressors anxiety can become intense and feel disproportionate. This can cause a decrease in concentration, excessive worry, nervousness, muscle tightness,  an increase in heart rate, or restlessness. 

​

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma can be perpetuated by terrifying events in a person's life. This can include exposure to death, life-threatening occurrences, serious injury, violence, physical or sexual assault.  Traumatic events affect people differently.

Grief & Loss

In our lifetime we'll experience a loss at some point. Feelings of grief and loss are commonly associated with the loss of a loved one to death, but can include the loss to a severed relationship, a pregnancy, a pet, a  job, or a home.

​

Feelings of grief can become overbearing and cause symptoms that include feeling sad, hopeless, isolated, irritable or numb. A person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being can become affected if unable to process their emotions associated with grief and loss. Allow us to provide grief counseling and therapy to help you cope with your loss.
