Living with anxiety, fear, worry, and depression can feel very discouraging, sometimes hopeless, and these feelings can grow to be so BIG that they inevitably impact our relationships, work, dreams and goals.
So how does therapy help with all of this? To put it simply, I believe therapy is one way to help people make sense of it "all". The ups, the downs, the hang ups - the best version of us and even the worst. I believe we are more than the sum of our parts; you are more than your depression, than your mistakes, or last panic attack!
