Depression and Anxiety

Anxiety and Depression


     Anxiety and depression are the souls way of asking, and sometimes demanding, change.  Anxiety often is present when an individual has reached a threshold which needs to be crossed but the ego is often hesitant to make the necessary change.  Understanding the threshold and what is being asked will help to alleviate the anxiety that can be debilitating.

You are a slave of what you need in your soul.

                                    C.G. Jung

   Depression often indicates that the road you are on is not the right road.  In order for the soul to get your attention a depression may set in.  Depression may also indicate that there are repressed emotions or possibilities that are calling for expression or attention.  When these hidden emotions of possibilities are brought to the surface the heaviness often lifts.  I have aided many individuals find their way through depression and live a more meaningful and personally fulling new life.  Together we will identify and change the beliefs that are holding you back that keep you from moving forward in life to live the life that has been chosen for you.

    Addictions are often coping mechanisms for dealing with underlying feelings.  An important part of recovering from any addiction is to identify the unconscious reasons for you addiction and finding the greater purpose of your life.  I can help you find these underlying impulses that are often shut down in order to put you on your path.

    Relationship Issues  I can work with individuals in a relationship as well as with couples.  Love is part of the soul, and is only possible when tow people meet each other with their true selves.

Every relationship is in a constant state  of evolving.  It is necessary to discover the new way that is attempting to be made known and recovery and discover new ways of being intimate, communicating, and being vulnerable in a positive manner.

   Anger Issues  Anger is a natural emotion and can be used in beneficial ways if it is understood and used to change situations positive ways.  However, many have difficulty focusing the anger and often project problems on those they care most about.  I can help you understand the source of your anger and refocus it in positive ways.
