Welcome
Have you ever tried to tell someone about your utter confusion or deep feelings of hopelessness only to have them tell you to "get over it" or give you some piece of advice that left you feeling more helpless or lonely than you did before? The pain of feeling that no one can understand or help can be especially bad when the person you have tried to tell about your struggle is someone you are especially close to like a parent or spouse.
The fact is we don't really want anyone to "fix" us or give us easy answers. What we really want, at least in the beginning, is that someone will listen in a way that makes us feel like they really understand our struggle. When we feel like they understand, even a little, then we don't feel so alone. Being able to voice our confusion creates new possibilities for healing.
The research is clear: "talk therapy" with medication is better than medication alone. Even without medication for immediate symptom relief talk therapy alone can help you to heal the source of your anger, sadness, or worry, and without the risk of those side effects attributable to different medications. One recent study found that when it came to depression those who had successfully completed a talk therapy treatment known as cognitive therapy were half as likely to relapse as those who were treated with medication alone.
If you are struggling with feelings of anger, worry, or hopelessness then I can help. I know from personal experience the loneliness that can come from a struggle with anger, anxiety, or depression, and I know firsthand the helplessness of having loved ones in the midst of such a struggle. I am experienced and trained in moving others from the crushing burden of mental/emotional struggle to a place of rest and eventual freedom.
