People tend to view depression as the sadness that people experience over the course of a day, a month, or a year. It seems as if you should just "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" to some. Unfortunately, for people experiencing true depression it is not that simple. It can be overwhelming. I will work with you to understand what is causing your depression and creating a plan regarding how best to address it. Different people have different needs and I will work with you to understand YOUR needs.

Depression effects both partners in a relationship, not just one of you. If your partner suffers from depression, you may be left thinking "what about me"? Emotional difficulties don't just effect one of you- if one of you suffers from depression, then you both suffer from depression. Counseling can help if you want to: Learn how to manage the effects of depression or other mood disorders on your relationship. Learn how to build a relationship that helps mitigate the effects of depression. Learn how to stop "walking on eggshells" and feeling trapped by your partner's depression.

I work with people who have either struggled with chronic depression, or have newly diagnosed depression due to life changes. Depressive symptoms can occur randomly, without obvious triggers. This can make depression difficult to manage. I help clients better manage their symptoms as well as helping them work through the symptoms moving forward. I understand how depression or depressive feelings can impact people's lives. Through psychotherapy and coaching, I use a range of strategies which allow my clients to have more fulfilling lives. Helping each individual find the path that works best in achieving peace and balance.

This is confusing for most people who don't suffer from it. Can't we all relate to feelings of depression? How many of you hear stories of how someone has pulled out of it with their own will power or been given suggestions to take a bath or serve others? If you are struggling with the condition, this can make you feel misunderstood, angry, invalidated and alone. Depression is not anyone's fault. Look in your family tree. Anyone else seem to fighting this? It runs in families because it is about heritable sensitivities in your body, like allergies or cancers. If you struggle with depression, even if it seems to come and go, please get help. There are people who get it and are there for you.

I use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in my work with clients to treat depression. I have a warm and compassionate approach, and strive to meet each client where he or she is at. I make referrals to psychiatrists who can prescribe medication if needed, and when appropriate; however, I believe that medication is not always necessary to treat depression. I help my clients implement good self-care practices and coping skills that can help to mitigate depressive symptoms.
