You are not alone.  Depression and anxiety are common issues that approximately 25% of people will experience at least once throughout their lifetime. Individuals who are depressed or anxious may have low self esteem,  difficulty in interpersonal relationships or worry excessively.   Depression and anxiety can be brought on by many factors such as maladaptive patterns of relating and coping stemming from childhood,  situational issues, or a genetic predisposition. Fortunately, psychotherapy can help.                                                                                                                Research shows that one of the most important variables contributing to change and growth in psychotherapy is the therapy relationship. It is highly important that you feel comfortable with the therapist that you are working with. To find out more about me, my approach and experience please explore my website.
