The symptoms of anxiety and depression are weighing you down. The hopelessness, incessant worry, and effects on your appetite and sleep patterns are getting difficult to manage. You know your mental health is suffering but it feels difficult to know where to start. Sometimes you are desperate for a way out of these feelings- you want them to stop - now. Other times you hardly have the energy and motivation to get through your day.
I help individuals suffering from depression and anxiety find a way to put their burdens down. To take off the heavy backpack of perfectionism, expectations, guilt, trauma, and pain. Together we will seek to understand your individual experience, examine how you have already tried to address your concerns, and find methods of coping that are specific to you.
As your therapist, I know healing journeys are as unique as fingerprints. I will be by your side through the heavy defeats, and I will be a cheerleader through your upcoming successes. If you find yourself reading this thinking that your backpack is feeling awfully heavy, and you are in need of rest and peace, contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.
