Depression is truly debilitating, and at it's most basic means 'to push down'. I counsel clients to reach a deeper understanding of why they feel the way they do, in turn validating their own sense of self and then bring them through a process of recovery and healing where they are able to engage in emotional and physical practices to reach a higher level of emotional stability and contentment.

Depression is a sadness that accompanies us wherever we go stealing our experience of happiness and joy. Others often do not understand that depression has changed our vision of a colorful, vibrant world to one of varying shades of gray. Depression can make tasks that were once completed without much thought like taking a shower, brushing one's teeth, or even getting out of bed, feel like an overwhelming challenge. Activities and people that we once enjoyed, no longer bring pleasure. "Why can't I just snap out of it?!" I use an integrative approach to therapy providing an empathetic, supportive dynamic to empower you to change your emotional experience of life.

Effective treatment for depression is best achieved by the two-pronged approach. That is, the first step to recovery is taking anti-depressants, (as prescribed by your doctor) which are very helpful in lifting your mood. The second step is coming to talk a psychotherapist. Together we will look at your current situation as you gradually share some of the difficult feelings you are struggling with. Then we will slowly and gently examine the past to see if these feelings are familiar. Gradually you will begin to gain fresh insights and a new perspective and release from the emotional pain.

Being depressed leaves your feeling helpless and hopeless. You may be overwhelmed by sadness or feel irritated and angry all the time. You may feel lonely and fear you are a burden. You may find it impossible to get out of bed or participate in your life. You may just feel nothing at all. Therapy can help you to uncover the root of your depression and learn to regulate your emotions, manage intrusive negative thought patterns, and motivate and support you in taking control of your life and your healing. Therapy can help. Please reach out for a free consult to determine if I am the right therapist to help you.

Experiencing big emotional ups and downs is normal, but there can be times when it feels like the lows are getting longer, more frequent, and harder to deal with. Therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who offers you empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. I work collaboratively with clients to explore how feelings of depression show up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact they have on living the life you want to live. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

When one is depressed the range of thoughts and feelings encompass a wide spectrum. Sadness and despair might be pervasive. One can feel as if they have fallen into a deep dark pit where everything is covered in negativity and hopelessness. In this state, one can feel inadequate, discouraged, unable or unwilling to make decisions. In addition, guilt, shame, profound low self-esteem and loss of interest in relationships, sex, career and even life itself are commonly found. A variety of evidence-based tools, specific to the needs of the individual, applied skillfully at the right time, can dramatically lift one out of that deep, dark pit and help avoid relapse.
