Depression is often associated with negative beliefs about oneself and the world, and EMDR can help to desensitize and reprocess these negative beliefs, leading to a more adaptive and positive worldview. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR can help to process the distressing memories and beliefs, reducing the intensity of the emotional response and increasing emotional resilience. By addressing the underlying negative beliefs, EMDR can help to alleviate symptoms of depression and improve overall mood and well-being.

There are many reasons people experience depression. Depression is a pervasive sadness often accompanied by a sense of powerlessness and is often related to past or current life experiences. Sadness is a normal, healthy response to loss, including a loss of power, but if it goes on too long, it becomes problematic. There are many approaches to treatment, including medication, which some people find helpful in addressing symptoms. However, it does not address root causes. Naming it, looking at underlying causes and exploring new ways of coping with its debilitating thought patterns and feelings can help you move on to reclaim your personal power and rediscover enjoyment in life.

Depression can pull you into the darkest places in your mind, to the place where you believe the illusion of total disconnection and loneliness. This is a response that your brain creates. Identifying the processes that triggered that response, we can climb our way up to our true selves and reach the long-lost stability we maybe once had. I can guide you through that darkness for you to reach it.

Depression is a condition that varies greatly between each presentation. It often is a downstream effect of other dynamics and relationships that takes a serious toll on the body, the nervous system, digestion, relationships and emotional well-being. My approach to treating depression begins with respect and understanding of the individual experience, their past, present, and concept of the future. I take that understanding of past experience, and beliefs of the future, pain in the present, and to provide safety, support, and strategy to improve your well-being and cultivate resilience through life's significant challenges. Depression can also look like anger, fatigue, isolation, etc.
