Maybe you can identify with these statements:
If you have ever said or thought any of the above, you are not alone! So many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, people pleasing, burnout, insomnia, hopelessness, and low self-esteem, and have definitely expressed thoughts like the ones listed above.
The good news is that, even in spite of long histories of anxiety and depression, my clients have achieved real, lasting relief! They have gone from being frantic and overrun with responsibilities and obligation to being calm and collected by prioritizing work-life balance and their healing.
You deserve to finally be able to enjoy peace in your mind, body, and soul. You owe it to your hardworking, self-sacrificing self to finally embody wholeness, authenticity, and empowered living.
Maybe you do not believe me. That's okay! I get it. I get what it can feel like being stuck and weighed down by the heaviness of existence and the dread of every new morning. I get what hopelessness feels like. I know how being immobilized by fear robs minutes, hours, and days of life from you. (Fun fact! I was diagnosed with clinical depression when I was 13 going on 14 years old). Whether the result of circumstances or situations, depression and anxiety looks differently for everyone, including me!
If you do decide to start therapy or consider how counseling may bring hope back to your body, then know that I speak from experiencing both sides of the desk, as a client and a therapist (and a depressed therapist!). I hope you can experience healing through the context of a safe, empathetic relationship with someone like myself who has both the empathy and the expertise to accompany you on your recovery.
Hope is in reach. Though the process to start may seem risky, or the phone call may seem intimidating, consider reaching out today to invest in a renewed tomorrow.
Hope is just a phone call away. So what are you waiting for?

If there are more than one, "yes" to the questions above, then there is a chance that you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Even if you smile a lot or do not "look depressed," you can still be experiencing the torturous loneliness, disconnection, and numbness of depression.
Consider if you might be extending yourself beyond your own abilities. Maybe you are not even aware that you are burnt out! Maybe you do not realize the weighty toll of pouring out from an empty cup. That's how anxiety and depression maintains a chokehold on our lives!
Consider if the most courageous thing you can do is to talk to yourself or treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend— and that advice you would give might include recognizing your limitations and getting help from a trained professional, like me!
I am qualified and trained to help individuals who feel lost to anxiety and depression finally find their voice and a sense of agency in their daily lives.
