Anxiety & Depression
Support for the weight of constant worry, low mood, and feeling like you can't get ahead of it.
Understanding
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are two of the most common reasons people reach out for therapy, and for good reason. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, roughly a third of U.S. adults will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their life, and millions more experience a depressive episode each year. If this is you, you're not the exception. You're one of a lot of people quietly carrying more than they show.
These experiences often build slowly: persistent worry, low motivation, trouble sleeping, a sense of being stretched too thin. Therapy gives you a space to understand what's underneath that, without judgment, and to build practical ways to feel steadier.
How do you know if
this is you?
Anxiety and depression don't always look like what people expect. Some signs to notice:
Persistent worry or racing thoughts
Low motivation or energy that doesn't improve with rest
Trouble sleeping, or sleeping but never feeling rested
Feeling disconnected from things you used to enjoy
Irritability or a short fuse that feels out of character
You don't need to feel like you're at a breaking point to reach out. Support can help at any stage.
How Therapy Can Help
My approach isn't about eliminating anxiety or forcing positivity. It's about helping you build a calmer relationship with your own mind, understand what's driving what you're feeling, and develop tools that make daily life feel lighter and more manageable. I draw on person-centered, CBT, and DBT approaches, adjusting based on what's actually useful for you, not a fixed script.
What Progress Looks Like
Progress here often looks less like anxiety disappearing and more like it losing its grip. You may notice steadier sleep, more capacity to handle a hard day without it taking over the whole week, and a bit more space between a feeling and your reaction to it.
This isn't a linear process, and there's no single timeline. We move at whatever pace actually fits your life.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Reaching out can feel uncomfortable. Taking the first step doesn’t have to be. If you’re ready to start the conversation, I’d be honored to help.
