Are you feeling hopeless, unmotivated, or not your usual self? No matter what you do you can't feel better? You are not alone. It's so common for people to feel alone when they are struggling with depression. Some people don't realize they are depressed. Depression can look and feel different depending on who you are and why you are depressed. Sometimes it is caused by a specific event, but other times you can't quite put your finger on why you feel this way. Some signs of depression are loss of motivation, changes in sleep, and increase or decrease appetite. Fortunately there is hope! We can learn to manage your symptoms so you can find relief. Don't wait! Therapy will help!

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.

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.

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.

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.

By integrating modern therapeutic techniques with proven, time-honored methods, we’ll work toward a brighter, more balanced future at your pace.

I can help you with recognizing areas that maybe causing you or your love one feelings of sadness or depression. I will help you identify sources that maybe causing these feelings and work with you to help discover and increase your self esteem and self worth. I also work with individuals that self hurt (cutting) to escape/hide from their inner pain.

Depression is not your identity. First and foremost, you are a child of God. But even with faith, life can knock us down and it can be difficult to find hope. You’re not meant to go through this alone. I would be honored to help you sort out what you can control, what needs to be grieved, what needs to heal, and what in life might need to change.
