Depression & Anxiety: We all experience depression and anxiety at different points in our lives. It is time to seek help when the symptoms do not seem to go away and it begins to effect daily functioning and you are overwhelmed by them. Symptoms of depression include:

feelings of sadness or feeling blue, irritability (particularly with children and teens), sleep disturbance, changes in appetite, decreased energy, problems with concentration, and recurrent thoughts of death. Anxiety can be portrayed by excessive worry, intense fear or discomfort, feeling keyed up or on edge, and easily fatigued.

Relationship Issues: Our relationships are an intregal part of who we are, and how we connect to others can greatly effect us. Psychotherapy can help you and your partner attain the relationship that you desire or assist you in exploring what you want to do about your relationship. Marital therapy can improve communication interactions, establish trust, improve the bond with your partner, increase emotional and physical intimacy, and identify maladaptive patterns.

Occupational Issues: For most of us, we spend the majority of our time at our jobs. It makes sense that we try to be as happy or satisfied in this area as we can be. Finding a career that we're passionate about can be a challenge. Psychotherapy can help decrease work stress, explore career options, increase job satisfaction, and prioritize and balance work and personal life.

Spirituality: Spirituality or one's faith can provide peace and strength when experiencing various life challenges or adversities. It can be a positive resource and tool during the psychotherapy process and beyond.
