Are you tired of struggling with the emotional pain of
anxiety, depression, or relationship problems?
Anxiety, depression, and relationship problems can
significantly impact all aspects of your life, disrupting
your career and social life and fueling nervousness,
panic attacks, and sleeplessness.
You may be feeling sad and lonely or worthless and
passionless. Possibly you are struggling with low
self-esteem and a lack of confidence. Fear of rejection or
disappointment from ongoing relationship challenges may
leave you feeling hopeless and stuck. In short,
anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles can erode
your capacity to feel fulfilled and happy with your life.
Perhaps you've tried to avoid your pain through
overworking, alcohol or drug abuse,
relationship addiction, or other
compulsive behaviors. Maybe you've done talk
therapy or used prescription drugs, but only experienced
partial or no relief, leaving you even more discouraged
Unresolved trauma is often
the underlying cause of anxiety, depression, and
painful relationship patterns.
"I began counseling with Ross because anxiety and depression were literally ruining
my life. It was hard for me to go to work, socialize or enjoy any aspect of my life.
I had fear, worry and panic attacks and my depression was constant and extreme at times.
I couldn't imagine living this way forever… it was too painful.
Through Ross's guidance and the counseling techniques that he used, I was able to
overcome my anxiety pretty rapidly. We next shifted attention to my depression and were
able to work through that too… I can't believe the results!... I now feel happier and
more alive than I've felt in over a decade."

Anxiety, depression, and relationship problems
can be due to any number of factors, especially major
traumas such as:
- Death of a loved one
- Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse
- Abandonment or rejection (by a parent or significant other)
- Painful relationship breakup (e.g., deep betrayal)
- Major illness, injury, or health problem
- Automobile or other type of accident
- Certain surgeries or other invasive medical procedures
Even seemingly insignificant events can cause
traumatic responses, leading to anxiety,
depression, and relationship troubles. If you've
experienced a pattern of subtle, but painful experiences
or you tend to be sensitive by nature, less severe
traumas can have a long-term negative impact on your
sense of well-being. For example:
- Experiencing painful or hostile family relationships
- Being shunned or ignored by an important person
- Humiliation by a friend, sibling, or teacher
- Constant criticism or ridicule by an authority figure
- Embarrassment by a co-worker or boss
- Never "measuring up" to the unrealistic expectations of a parent
- Anxiety about a traumatic event experienced by a loved one
Traumatic memories often
become stuck in the brain and nervous system.
One of the main reasons that anxiety, depression,
and relationship problems can be so difficult to overcome
is because the memory of a traumatic experience can get
"stuck" deep in your brain and nervous system.
Even well after a traumatic event has ended, the trauma can
remain alive and active, creating painful symptoms that
are highly sensitive to getting re-activated or "triggered"
by current situations. For example, if you were painfully
rejected by a parent in the past, you may notice those same
painful feelings from childhood getting re-activated
when you're feeling rejected by your spouse or a close friend.
"My anxiety, panic attacks and depression reached the point where I needed medication.
Working with Ross was the best thing I could have done for myself and my relationship….
it changed my life! Ross taught me how to listen to and value myself, set healthy
boundaries and communicate with my partner in a way that works."

Research indicates that counseling is most effective when
it incorporates both the left and right sides of the brain.
Trauma is stored on the right side of the brain. Traditional
talk therapy only accesses the left side of the brain and
is not capable of processing trauma. My approach engages
both sides of the brain to help you release trauma and the
painful symptoms it creates.
In my approach to counseling for anxiety,
depression, and
relationship
problems, I utilize a highly effective
3-Part Healing

- Releasing the emotional traumas that are the underlying source of your anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.
