Anxiety and depression can stop you from living life to the fullest. You just don't feel like yourself. You suffer and your relationships suffer. Often you feel stuck and hopeless but aren't clear on the cause. Conflicts that are lodged in your unconscious don't become clear until you start to talk. Talking to an experienced therapist offers you a safe place to say everything. If talking is hard and you don't know where to begin, it is my job to help you.
