Depression comes in many different shapes, colors and sizes. It is not a one size fits all experience. Depression can be anything from feeling "blue" or sad for an extended period of time to feeling helpless, hopeless or like a burden, to thoughts of suicide. No matter where you might be on the depression spectrum, it can be helpful to seek counseling. My approach in treating depression is to assist you in identifying patterns of thought and behavior that may be contributing to your experience of depression. Identifying negative thought or behavior patterns is helpful in determining which new coping skills would benefit you the most in treating your depression.

Depression is one of the most common, least understood, and least treated difficulties facing individuals and families today. Sometimes it can seem like a dark cloud simply won’t leave us alone, and we’re waiting for the sun to come burn it away. Effective treatment for depression addresses both external factors--like a person’s environment--and internal factors--such as thought and behavior patterns. I enjoy helping my clients regain their zest for living and once again enjoy being with family and friends and living out their God-given purpose.
