Depression & Anxiety
You Deserve to Feel Content
You see people who seem confident, fulfilled, and free. What is their secret?
For as long as you can remember, you have felt inadequate, fearful and not enough. Everyone seems to have more or better. As hard as you try to keep up, the feeling of emptiness continues to grow.
Life doesn’t seem fair. You work so hard to accomplish, to meet others’ needs, to be loved. You try to please everyone, yet you’re often angry when others don’t meet your standards.
You’re lonely, you’re tired. You’ve developed unhealthy coping mechanisms to handle the stress, control, and fear.
You don’t have to feel angry, inadequate, unnoticed, and unimportant anymore. Located in Hickory, NC, and serving the surrounding areas, I am here to help you find peace and satisfaction.

Depression is an Every-Waking-Moment Thing
In the privacy of counseling, we will address your depression together. You can share as little or as much as you choose as you grow in your sense of safety and trust with me as your therapist. Together we will look at the full picture of your depression; how it most affects you, how you would like it to be different, and what avenues of intervention and therapy will most likely make a difference. Depression is not something you have to face alone. I encourage you to contact me today and make an appointment at my Hickory, NC office to learn more about how counseling can help.
One in ten adults report experiencing depression at some point in their life. It’s one of the most common reasons people seek therapy. The medical causes of depression and anxiety remain mysterious, but fortunately, the conditions are highly treatable.

The Hope
For some, depression is a one-time experience that seems to be incited by a life-event. For others, it is an ongoing experience. The hope is that no matter how you have experienced depression, relief is possible through counseling and therapy. Finding ways to cope with depression, mitigate its effects, and perhaps resolve underlying causes for your depression will all be a part of your treatment. I opened Gold Heart Counseling in Hickory, NC to serve clients in need in my own community.
