As psychologists, we play a crucial role in helping our patients navigate and cope with the overwhelming emotions and feelings, such as sadness, loss, despair, and anxiety which are commonly triggered by witnessing ongoing global crises.
Grief Support
Grief is often painful, but for some people, the emotions can become overwhelming. When a person’s grief is severe and unrelenting, Dr. Holland can offer support. In time, a person can recover from their loss and adjust to a new life.
People grieving the death of a close friend experience significant loss
From birth to death we are wired for connection. It is not something that we just want, it is something that we deeply need to ensure our survival. Connections with caring and supportive others helps us develop into the people we are meant to be. These connections keep us thriving and growing as we move through life, and as we experience challenges and successes together
Therapy for Gender and Sexual Identity Issues
Although a person’s sexual or romantic orientation or gender identity may not be a source of distress, people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, experiencing gender fluidity, or any other orientation or gender identity may find that the social stigma of living as a minority is a source of stress or anxiety. Dr. Holland is LGBTQ+ affirming clinician who specializes in mental health issues associated with sexual, romantic, or gender identity. As a LGBTQ+ advocate she offers nonjudgmental therapy in a safe environment and has a great deal of experience with a wide range of LGBTQ+ issues.
Support for Cancer Patients
As a cancer survivor myself, I enjoy working with cancer patients, to help improve quality-of-life while they go through treatment. We do this by addressing symptoms that may arise practically and imaginatively. Living with uncertainty, pain, and compromised physical ability takes a cumulative toll. I am here to help.
