Anxiety and Depression
Therapy for Anxiety
Our emotions and bodily sensations are designed to alert us to fear and danger, keeping us safe. But sometimes, this internal alarm system becomes overactive, leading to anxiety that feels overwhelming or out of proportion to the situation. When anxiety exceeds its usefulness, it can take a toll not just on mental well-being but on physical health as well.
Given the uncertainty in today’s world, it’s natural to feel on edge. Anxiety is a valid response to the challenges and unpredictability we’re facing. While we may not be able to eliminate it entirely, we can work together to develop strategies that help you cope, regulate, and make it feel more manageable.
You may benefit from seeing a therapist for anxiety if you:
feel nervous, restless or on edge.
have trouble concentrating or remembering things.
have difficulty falling or staying asleep.
feel an impending sense of doom.
experience GI upset such as nausea or indigestion for no known reason
find yourself ruminating on past experiences or conversations.
Therapy can help you identify signs and symptoms of anxiety. Together, we can work on filling your toolbox with ways to help regulate your nervous system, manage stress and decrease the intensity of anxious thoughts and feelings.
Be kind. You are meeting parts of yourself you have been at war with.
Therapy for Depression
Everyone experiences sadness from time to time, but when it becomes a constant presence—interfering with work, relationships, and daily life—it may be time to seek support. Depression can stem from many factors, including life circumstances, major transitions, health issues, hormone imbalances, discrimination, racism and oppression.
Living with depression can feel like carrying a heavy weight, leaving you numb, exhausted, and disconnected from the world around you. The simplest of tasks can feel insurmountable and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Together, we can explore what’s contributing to these feelings and develop new ways to cope, helping you find relief and reconnect with life.
