You want to sleep all day or can't sleep at all and just don't want to do anything. Whatever your symptoms are, don't wait! Depression, grief and sadness can be difficult to overcome on your own. While you suffer under this weight, your family may not know how to support or help you. I understand what you and your loved ones are going through and would love to help. Counseling and therapy will allow you to share any thoughts and feelings in a safe place, offer alternatives, provide ideas for family members or just present a space of relief. Contact me and lets get started with therapy and counseling to help you climb out of this black hole. Together we will discuss and practice ways that will allow you to leave your depression behind and enjoy life again.

Depression Counseling

Everybody sometimes feels blue or sad. But these feelings are usually brief and pass within a view days. When someone has depression, it interferes with the daily life and causes pain for the person as well as his/her the loved ones.

People with depression may experience various symptoms like decreased interest and pleasure in daily activities, weight changes, changes in appetite, insomnia or excessive sleeping, absence of energy, problems concentrating, emotions of worthlessness or guilt and frequent thoughts of death.

Fortunately, depression is treatable. Combinations of psychotherapy and medication treatment (if necessary) often provide relief from the suffering. Get help today and call for an appointment.

Your safety and well being is my priority. By keeping this in mind I will integrate various theoretical models to offer the best therapeutic approach fitted for your circumstances and personality.

Anxiety Counseling

You are struggling with intense fear which either seems to come out of nowhere or is lingering around. You might be scared of certain places, things, or situations. You seem to be on edge and tense. Whatever your anxiety symptoms are, let me help you. In my counseling and therapy practice I apply mindfulness exercises, EMDR, DBT and CBT in order to allow your body to relax again, feel less tense and decrease the intensity and frequency of your anxiety complains.

Most people today experience anxiety, worry and stress on a daily basis. But merely feeling anxious or stressed in and of itself does not mean you need to seek counseling. By nature, anxiety is an essential warning signal of an unsafe or difficult situation. Without anxiety, we would have no way of foreseeing problems ahead and preparing for them. Anxiety begins to be a concern when the symptoms become persistent, and affect the daily life.

Effective therapies for anxiety concerns are available that can help most individuals (DBT, EMDR, CBT). If you think you need help and are ready for a change call me today to schedule an appointment.
