Anxiety & Depression

Let’s start with how anxiety and depression are personal to you. 

Anxiety. You spend a lot of time anticipating situations and trying to plan for them, but notice that this actually increases your anxiety rather than helps you feel prepared.

Depression. You’re hard on yourself with the hopes of being better but instead, just feel worse. It feels like your depression is more intense and lasts longer because of it.

Combined. You have a hard time teasing apart your anxiety from your depressive symptoms, making it a struggle to know what you need now and what will help for the future.

Together, We Will:

  • Label the parts of your experience that are anxiety and depression and begin to accept these conditions as a part of you, not all of you

  • Identify the causes of these conditions, including early experiences and relationships, genetic predispositions, and trauma

  • Determine how these conditions manifest in your current relationships and interfere with attaining your goals

  • Uncover the patterns among your thoughts, feelings, and actions and determine if these patterns are helpful or unhelpful

  • Develop adaptive coping skills and practice skills such as flexibility in thinking, perspective taking, and emotional reflection

  • Set and work through new goals, while working through anxiety and depression to alleviate intensity and frequency of symptoms

Let’s take that next step, together.

I like to schedule complimentary phone consultations to make sure we are a good fit and answer any questions you may have before starting therapy.
