Anxiety and depression can often leave people frustrated and stuck, not knowing where to turn. At The Connection Place, I take a two-prong approach to the treatment of anxiety and depression. My first goal is to give you some tools to cope with the anxiety or depressive symptoms. Through these tools, I will try to help you reduce the symptoms you are experiencing. However, treatment does not stop there. My second goal is to answer the questions, “Why does this make sense?” I want to help you figure out what is causing your symptoms. I want to get to the root of the symptoms as I assist in guiding you and other clients to a place of hope and healing in your journey.
