What I Can Help With
Depression
Sadness, loneliness, and emptiness can happen for many reasons. When these feelings become too big and difficult to manage, someone may withdraw and feel isolated or unloved. Sometimes a person may lose hope that things can or will get better and feel that the world would be better without them. Others may turn to harming themselves.
Regardless of what is happening in your life, you are not alone. I can help you learn how to reengage in life and recognize that things can get better. You will be able to learn strategies to help you heal and have more good days than bad.
Anxiety
Worrying, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed are a typical part of life. However, these things can become overbearing and disrupt a person’s daily life. Someone can find themselves worrying about the safety of others, that something bad will happen, what others think of them, if their future is going to be good or bad, and about the past and if things could have been different.
People can sometimes experience anxiety or panic attacks where they feel like they have lost or are losing control of their bodies. They may experience chest pain, difficulties breathing, shaking, and nausea among other physical symptoms.
I can help you identify the source of you anxiety and learn skills and strategies to help reduce it. You can learn to “face your fears” and live without excessive worry and anxiety.
