Anxiety and Depression

Stuck between heart-racing anxiety…

Up at 2 am – again – can’t shut your brain off. Even when things are going relatively well, your mind finds something to worry about – second-guessing your relationship, wondering if your boss is upset with you, or over-analyzing what you said earlier that day.

In your head, you know this endless ruminating is silly, or at least not helpful. But your body hasn’t gotten the memo because you can’t seem to calm down and relax.

…and a crushing sense of helplessness

Some days, you wake up and feel so stuck. Your mind tells you things are probably going to end poorly anyway. So, what’s the use in trying when you end up feeling disappointed and exhausted?

Then that critical voice in your head starts saying that you’re probably being lazy and dramatic, which makes you feel worse. You feel so stuck and frustrated and don’t want to feel this way, but you’re not sure how not to feel this way.

Whatever this feeling is, it sucks!

You’re unsure if you identify with the words “anxiety” or “depression,” but you know something is wrong.

Pinballing between feeling on edge and paralyzed has left you exhausted and unsure what to do. You’ve thought about talking with friends or family, but the last time you tried, they didn’t get it, or you felt you couldn’t be honest with them.

You have a pretty good life and want to enjoy it. But you need help dealing with how you feel. Otherwise, remaining stuck is the only option.

You deserve something better.

Feeling calm, grounded, and peaceful is something you deserve to experience.

It’s time to let go of the things you don’t need to keep.

You deserve to live a life full of what’s important to you.

Life may throw disturbances your way; no matter what, you need to know that you have what it takes to get through it.

Therapy can help you attain what you deserve.

I specialize in working with people who want relief from complicated feelings, to feel better, and to focus more on living their lives.

In therapy, we’ll talk about how to build a natural defense against negative emotions like anxiety and frustration. We’ll also practice listening to your feelings and the critical information they give you about what you need.

Listening to how you feel and what you need isn’t something many of us grew up learning how to do, and it can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and unsure of how to feel better. You’ll also build up your toolkit of skills you can use between sessions to feel calmer and more in control.

Think about it.

What could your life be like if you put a fraction of the time spent worrying into helping yourself feel better?

Even if you’re unsure where to start, give me a call today, and let’s talk about how I can help.
