Anxiety and Depression
When Your Body Won’t Stop the Alarm
Your hands shake at the grocery. Not because something is wrong in that moment. Because something has been wrong for a long time.
Your body doesn’t know how to believe otherwise.
You cancel plans.
You stay home when you meant to go out.
The exhaustion pulls you flat into the bed. Getting up feels like lifting something no one else can see.
Your anxiety and depression are real.
And they deserve more than being told to push through.
You Walked in Expecting Judgment
Expecting to be judged seems to be standard when someone comes to see me.
Being told you have so much to be grateful for – that’s not what you’ll find here.
Therapy with me is simply a conversation.
One where you can be honest about your fear, your sadness, your guilt, your memories, or anything else you’re carrying into the room.
Anxiety.
Depression.
Grief.
The weight of it all.
Whatever has you here. I’ll hear it.
The Work Has Structure. The Pace Is Yours.
I start with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it gives us real tools, not just talking.
We slow down the moment your anxiety spikes and find the thought underneath.
We ask whether that thought is accurate or whether it’s based on outdated data.
For your depression, we examine:
- What isolation is costing you.
- Where your energy drains first.
- What small movements your body can start trusting again.
I also draw on interpersonal therapy and mindfulness-based practices, including meditation apps between sessions, when the work calls for it.
Some sessions look like telling stories.
Others are about learning to move through one specific day differently.
We move at your pace.
Your Pain Isn’t New to Me
For over 40 years, as both a licensed clinical social worker and an adoption attorney, I’ve guided people through some of the most emotionally tender moments they face.
Counseling is not new to me.
I don’t just have one client like you.
The shaking hands, the isolation, the job lost to depression, the friendships that slipped away while you were trying to hold yourself together. I’ve heard it.
I am the right person for you.
Choose wisely when picking your therapist.
