In my approach to depression counseling, I provide a compassionate and supportive environment where clients feel truly heard and understood. I tailor my methods to the individual, blending evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices to help clients manage symptoms and regain hope. Through collaborative goal-setting and gentle exploration of thought patterns, I empower clients to build resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and rediscover a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their lives.

My approach will vary depending on the severity of the depression. The first importance is stability of well being. From there I will work on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors working towards short terms goals. Goals will include small behavior changes that will help to be building blocks and also cognitive work on realistic truths. Often things like sleep, nutrition, and exercise are also evaluated and improved in the process as ways to counter depression.

Sometimes people feel depresed and can atribute it to stressful events that have occured, other times people can't quite put their finger on why they feel depressed, they just know they're not happy, feel unmotivated, and in some cases hopeless and helpless. What we now know about neuroscience helps us understand how and why depression occurs. I will help you determine whether your depression can be improved through talk therapy combined with some changes to your daily routine or whether a clinical depression has set in that may respond well to medication too. I have a wonderful, caring Doctor I work with who will assess clinical depression and offer recommendaitons if necessary.
