You try to put on a brave face, but you've been struggling for a while. Balancing the many demands of life - work, relationships, school, stressful surprises - can feel overwhelming for everyone and it can impact our ability to function in the healthiest of ways. You know you have to try to keep that brave face on and try to be "happy" but you're not even sure what happy means anymore. You need to figure out how to live your own best life, and not everyone else's
Addressing depression and anxiety can be intimidating, but my person centered and mindful approach focuses on helping clients towards a state of acceptance - towards themselves, others, and life situation, which is often the springboard toward taking committed action to thrive in a way that is consistent with your values.
It's not easy opening up and admitting you need help, especially if you haven't had great experiences in the past. You know you deserve something different, I want to help you explore your favorite self and help you find the strengths within you to help you thrive at life.
