Therapy helps individuals identify and understand the triggers that lead to drug use or negative behaviors. By dissecting these patterns, therapy enables individuals to manage their responses to triggers more effectively. Therapy also equips individuals with practical strategies for managing stress, cravings, and other challenges associated with recovery. Skills such as mindfulness, stress management, and problem-solving are central to many therapeutic approaches, helping individuals navigate difficult situations without resorting to drugs or past behaviors.

I helps individuals identify the specific triggers that contribute to their anxiety and stress. By understanding these triggers, individuals can develop strategies to manage them effectively and reduce their impact on daily life. Therapy, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), focuses on identifying and challenging negative or distorted thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and stress. I assist individuals in replacing irrational or unhelpful thoughts with more realistic and adaptive thinking, leading to a reduction in anxiety and stress levels.

Most people experience stress and anxiety from time to time. Stress can be triggered by an event that makes you feel frustrated or nervous. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, worry, or unease. Examples of normal stress and anxiety include worrying about finding a job, feeling nervous before a big test, or being embarrassed in certain social situations. However, if stress and anxiety begin interfering with your daily life, it may indicate a more serious issue. If you are avoiding situations due to irrational fears, constantly worrying, or anxious about a traumatic event weeks after it happened, it may be time to seek help.
