Depression can be isolating and, most often, results in a sense of helplessness--as if you are in a hole and unable to dig or climb yourself out. I provide a sense of emotional safety and security where one can begin to explore the origins of their depression and how to overcome those overwhelming feelings. Through talk therapy, and various methods such as cognitive behavior and acceptance, one can reduce their alienation and begin to acquire a sense of hope. Learning coping strategies and self-empowerment also achieves a sense of ability with regard to being in the present and moving toward the future.

It can often seem like society expects us to be happy and positive at all times, that any admission of sadness or a loss of motivation, energy, or engagement with life is a personal failure.

A trained therapist understands the mechanics of depression and can help you understand it and find strategies to make your way up and out of it, and back into the light.
