I have compassion for couples who come in when one or both are struggling with an overall lack of satisfaction and motivation. I help couples identify those “triggers” that affect their relationship and cause low mood, and to develop coping skills to self-regulate. My couples' clients report that they are able to sense and identify relationship mood fluctuations as a result of our therapy sessions. I also refer them to individual therapy providers so they can get support outside of our couples' sessions. I treat the couple, not individuals.If you are currently feeling suicidal, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Being in a depressed state can feel like a heaviness weighing on you. It can feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. This feeling can reduce your ability to enjoy everyday life. Some people are wired this way, and others have experienced sad situations. I use a holistic approach to explore and address triggers so we can make a plan to break the momentum of these feelings. Some of the modalities I use are cognitive behavioral therapy, logotherapy, Gestalt therapy, rational emotive therapy, and many behavioral strategies. I will teach you to challenge the thoughts that can bring you down and alter your perspective so it is more comfortable, ultimately improving your mood.

Depression can range from being draining to being completely debilitating. Wherever you land on that spectrum, so much of depression involves negative thinking of oneself, others, and the world. Talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are research-backed successful tools in providing support for those experiencing depression. I use talk therapy to provide a space for clients to share their feelings and things that either lead to or are affected by their feelings of depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift negative thinking patterns as well as behaviors, which ultimately creates a more positive cycle in ones life and decreases symptoms of depression.
