Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression look different for everyone, but they often have common threads. Maybe you’re feeling:

• Anxious: Your mind races with constant worry, keeping you awake at night. You might feel on edge, struggle to relax, or avoid certain situations because they feel overwhelming.
• Exhausted: You’re carrying the weight of unshakable sadness or hopelessness. Even the simplest tasks feel monumental, and things that used to bring you joy no longer seem to matter.
• Disconnected: You feel like you’re watching life happen around you but can’t fully participate. Relationships, work, and daily life feel harder than ever.

If any of this resonates with you, know that you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy is a powerful step toward feeling better.

Therapy gives you the tools to manage anxiety, depression, and their underlying causes. With my support, you can:

• Understand Your Emotions: Learn why you feel the way you do and how to address overwhelming emotions.
• Reclaim Control: Develop coping skills to break free from the grip of anxiety and depression.
• Reconnect with Yourself: Rediscover your strengths, passions, and a sense of purpose.
• Strengthen Relationships: Learn communication tools and strategies to create healthier, more fulfilling connections.

My approach is warm, empathetic, and focused on building trust. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your needs and goals.

When you start therapy with me, we’ll work collaboratively to uncover the root of your struggles and develop strategies that work for you.

Here’s what therapy typically looks like:

1. Understanding Your Experience: We’ll explore what you’re going through, how it’s affecting your life, and the goals you want to achieve.
2. Identifying Patterns: We’ll uncover thought patterns or behaviors that may be contributing to your anxiety or depression.
3. Building Practical Tools: I’ll equip you with techniques to manage overwhelming emotions, handle stress, and build resilience.
4. Processing Past Experiences: If your anxiety or depression stems from past trauma or negative beliefs, we’ll address these gently and safely using tools like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
5. Focusing on Progress: Throughout therapy, we’ll celebrate your wins—big or small—and adjust our approach as needed to keep you moving forward.

Therapy is a deeply personal experience, and finding the right therapist is essential. Here’s why clients trust me with their mental health journeys:

• Warm and Relatable Style: I bring my authentic self to every session, combining empathy, humor, and practicality to make therapy feel approachable.
• Personalized Care: I believe your story is unique, and your therapy should reflect that. I’ll tailor our work to meet your needs, whether it’s finding quick coping strategies or diving deeper into the root of your struggles.
• Evidence-Based Techniques: I use proven methods like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), as well as EMDR for trauma-related concerns.
• Extensive Experience: With a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and certifications in addictions counseling and trauma work, I bring years of training and hands-on experience to help you.
