Life challenges I can help you with:
Intense emotions that interfere with functioning (e.g., sadness, anger, shame, fear)
Excessive stress
Traumatic experiences
Loneliness
Intrusive thoughts and images
Challenges related to migration and adjusting to a new culture
Minority stress of LGBTQIA+ individuals
Insomnia
Abuse related to membership in religious communities (commonly referred to as religious trauma or religious trauma syndrome)

Self-criticism, low self-esteem
Changing habits (e.g., quitting smoking, increasing physical activity, changing eating habits).
I also work with individuals who have received psychiatric diagnoses, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, C-PTSD, and many others. If necessary, I collaborate with psychiatrists and medical specialists in other fields.
