Anxiety Counseling

Anxiety and Depression

Both depression and anxiety are crafty and painful, and sometimes feel like they're taking over your life.  While worry, sadness and loss happen to everyone—they're a realistic and important part of life— when dealing with them keeps you from living fully, it’s time to look into the issues further and learn where and when the emotions can be controlled. My approach looks at your past (earned sadness and anger about what you’ve lost, what’s been taken, or what you regret); your present (living in the moment and accepting both the good and the bad) and your future (channeling hope and faith in order to plan for better days ahead).

The first step on the road to relieving mood instability is to combine techniques that soothe both your mind and your body.  My approach is multi-dimensional, helping you learn to examine and label your thoughts, relax and calm your body’s reactions, and find support from others (friends, family, support groups, therapists and clergy are a good starting place) to control worry. Together, we can tame anxiety and see it as it really is: a tormenting bully that needs to be erased.
