Therapy for anxiety & depression

 

Starting therapy and finding the right therapist can be frustrating. You may wonder if it will work for you, yet most people find that once they take action and start therapy, they feel better about themselves and experience positive change in their lives.

My approach as a therapist is collaborative and aimed at achieving your goals, not mine. My style is non-judgmental, relaxed and supportive.

Does this sound like you?

“I am my own worst enemy."  "I am a perfectionist."  "I have high standards for myself."  "I feel guilty if I am not productive."  "I beat myself up."  "I am always arguing with myself."  "I feel stuck."  "To ask for help feels like I have failed." "I am my harshest critic." "I feel like am waiting for my life to start."

If you can relate to any of these descriptions, then you will probably respond well to the type of therapy I offer. In fact, many of my therapy patients are dealing with exactly these same thoughts. 

The journey to let go of your life barriers begins when you start to take notice of what your mind is saying to you about yourself and your life situation. Doing so without reaction or judgment, allow you to change the way you relate to the uncomfortable feelings, memories and unhelpful behaviors attached to these thoughts. Taking committed action and turning from the hopeless struggle towards a life that is rich and meaningful to you!

A warm, empathic and experienced therapist can help you end your suffering and clear the way to a more fulfilling life.
