Anxiety and Depression

Everyone experiences anxiety and depression at some point.

But the difference is when anxiety, depression, or both start running your life and making the rules for how you feel.

Anxiety, at the right level, is perfect for us because it helps us function well and stay on top of our responsibilities in life. But for many of us, it can overtake our minds and cause us misery and stress.

Depression hurts and makes everything look dark. Sometimes, life is tough, so feeling sad, losing interest in things we used to enjoy, and not taking good care of ourselves makes sense. However, there are times when life is pretty good, yet we still find ourselves unable to enjoy it. That can be very frustrating and make us wonder what is wrong.

Anxiety and depression are widespread problems and can often go hand in hand. It helps to talk about them with someone you trust and who possesses the skills to help you overcome them.

Therapy can make a difference.

For some of you looking into therapy now, you are tired of how anxious thoughts have been piling up over time, or you are at a crisis point in your life and really must address it.

Therapy is beneficial no matter what anxiety and depression look like to you or how you experience them in your life. While working with me, I will ask you questions about what they feel like to you, what you have tried before, your strengths and values, and how you have made positive changes and progress in the past. All of this will help us make the right treatment plan for you.

I have many tools to share with you so you can have a more normal, enjoyable life like you used to have or maybe for the first time. Some techniques and philosophies I use include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and others to make these issues less of a powerful force in your life.

I believe that understanding yourself better and gaining insight into your anxiety is not enough. You will do your best if you also learn specific skills and tools. That means it helps you do some things differently and not just think differently. It may initially be awkward or strange, but that’s not bad. If you stick with it, it will feel more natural and become your new normal. As a result, you will feel much more relaxed, confident and able to enjoy life.

Get started and begin the new life you dream of.

Don’t let anxiety and depression keep you from the life you want and deserve. There’s no better time to act than now.

I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with me, so you can ask any questions you would like and find out if we are a good fit.
