Anxiety and Depression

The unending ‘what ifs’…

“What if this new job isn’t what I expected, and I’m stuck in a job I hate?”

“What if I ruin our group presentation and we fail the assignment?”

“What if she gets tired of me and decides our relationship isn’t worth it anymore?”

They cause your thoughts to race and your body to feel panic for most of the day.

It’s been tough to manage this emotionally, leaving you feeling irritable, drained, and constantly doubting yourself.

You aren’t sure that others will understand.

And you’re afraid of feeling judged for whatever you judge yourself for. This causes you to isolate and withdraw from important aspects of your life.

Without enough support, feelings of loneliness and inadequacy grow.

You are feeling more and more limited in what you can do because the depression and anxiety have put constraints on what feels possible for your life. It’s been hard to climb out of this place on your own.

Therapy provides a supportive and collaborative space.

You don’t have to face these struggles alone.

Our sessions together allow you to examine aspects of your life and discover parts of yourself to live life more fully and freely.

By understanding more about what has contributed to the anxious/depressed symptoms, you will feel more empowered and more able to direct your life instead of it controlling you.

An integrative approach…

I incorporate a psychodynamic approach with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, parts work (IFS), and somatic approaches to help patients achieve enhanced self-understanding, symptom reduction, and relationship well-being.

I always strive to meet you where you are and incorporate a flexible and integrative approach to address various needs.

Learning new ways of coping, identifying and channeling your strengths, addressing challenges, locating areas where you feel stuck or hurt, reviewing strategies, and working toward removing barriers to growth are integral parts of the work we can do together.

No one should have to face anxiety and depression alone.
