Anxiety is the opposite side of the coin to depression. It often masquerades as worry and care for one's work, partner, or children and can become debilitating when unchecked. This can lead to chronic worry, restlessness, fatigue, burnout, and impairment in the areas of life we care the most about. I have found that therapy can be helpful for those willing to invest in retraining their nervous system to face the complexities of life.

Depression is often characterized as a stubborn darkness. Like a cloud that is consistently occupying the space above a person, it has a tendency to color our perception. Whether this is a circumstantial depression (difficult relationship, job loss, unmet expectations) or persistent depression (biological component), I have found that therapy can be a helpful way of finding the way out.

Relationships are seldom easy. Like plants, they require attention and care if they are to flourish. I regularly see clients dealing with a variety of difficulties in relationships with those closest to them. Whether this be a partner, coworker, or child/teenager I believe therapy can be a helpful tool in navigating the complexity of those closest to us.

Relationships are seldom easy and like plants they need copious amounts of care in order to flourish. People I have seen regularly come to therapy with difficulties such as communication issues, differences in expectations, and unhealed trauma from the past affecting their present relationship. Through therapy, clients have been able to come to a place of increased emotional health, and better understanding of their partner as well as being understood.

Depression is a stubborn darkness. It functions like a cloud that colors one's perspective and is debilitating both for the person suffering and for those around them. People have come to therapy with circumstantial depression (difficult relationship, addictive behaviors) and chronic depression (biological component). Through therapy, clients have been able to find a way toward joy again.
