Depression comes in many forms and sometimes gets in the way of our goals, relationships ,families and our lives. Are you experiencing symptoms like : loss of interest in activities, appetite or weight change, loss of energy, sleep changes, and reckless behavior? This means it is to time to seek help and find a qualified mental health provider. In therapy we can discuss not just the symptoms but where they may stem from to in order to get you to a balanced, harmonious and clear headed state of mind.

Depression can leave you feeling like even the simplest tasks are impossible. Overtime you can start feeling guilt or shame about how hard life feels for you and isolate yourself.

We help our client to overcome or manage depression symptoms through holding safe space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Depression can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

When we uncover an experience of depression we will most certainly discover raw feelings of loss. Most often we simply want the pain to go away but our pain is actually a gift. The truth is that the way we were living before was simply not working. Counseling can serve as a tremendous catalyst for reframing our pain in order to discover the life we long to experience.

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

Depression can feel like an endless weight, making even the smallest tasks seem insurmountable. My approach to depression counseling is compassionate, holistic, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll uncover the underlying patterns contributing to your depression, explore your emotions in a safe and supportive space, and develop practical tools to help you regain motivation and joy.

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.
