Anxiety and depression
are complex conditions that affect your overall mental
and physical well-being. Our therapeutic work together,
will help you to get back to leading a full, rich, and
satisfying life!
Individual Psychotherapy: Most
people who come for therapy are suffering from anxiety
and depression. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are
also felt by people who are experiencing difficult life
transitions or self-defeating behaviors. Both anxiety
and depression are normal aspects of being human. We
need the tension and energy, the adrenaline rush associated
with anxiety to have a zest for living, to succeed in
life, to do our personal best. Anxiety also warns us
of danger and can help us make life changing decisions.
Depression is a defense mechanism that tells us to step
back from life, to take a break to deal with situations
and events that overwhelm and sadden us. It is when
these conditions become severe, chronic and debilitating,
that they become a major barrier to living a healthy
life—it
is at that point psychological treatment can be beneficial.
 Couples/Marriage Counseling: If
your relationship is unsatisfying, based on conflict,
or is in crisis, then couples work can help to improve
and even save it. Are you and your partner experiencing
any of the following problems: communication difficulties,
constant arguing, angry outbursts, conflicting parenting
styles, intrusive in-laws, or unfulfilled emotional/sexual
needs?
Our work together can help
you to improve communication, learn “fair
fighting,” deepen emotional connectedness, renew trust
and commitment, and restore romance and passion.
Counseling via telephone
and email.
