I know of nothing worse than daily slogging toward a dark and fruitless future. Feeling like the weight of life is pressing down, gasping for breath least we drown. At it's base, depression is suffering for no good cause and with no end in sight. With both biochemical and emotional pieces in it's puzzle, going it alone is overwhelming. At Life Practice we shed light on how both aspects work independently and in concert with one another providing resources and discovery for a brighter tomorrow.

Sometimes we feel depression due to events in our life either past, present or both. Other times, we are genetically predisposed to biochemical depression. The data in the field suggests that therapy can be very effective in treating depressive symptoms. If it a circustance that impacts our depressive state, we work together in therapy to put a plan together to change the circumstance. If it is a biochemical issue, we explore many resources, including psychotropic medication in tandem with therapy for treatment.

Depression has an element of the past living in the now. Hope is lost if all we can see, feel or remember is how things were. How things went wrong. How things were bad. How things were better. It is easy to stop doing things that bring us a feeling of fulfillment and comfort and slip into seemingly unending......nothing. Nothing changes, nothing is better, nothing helps. The past can be a great opportunity to learn or change but it belongs where it is.

Depression can feel like the heaviest weight that strips away our motivation, worth, and drive. It can often isolate us and steal our hope. When treating depression, we will focus on your value and who we are at the core and learn how to navigate the waves of depression as they come. I believe that with the right tools we can navigate an empowered way forward. We are not meant to do life alone and who we are matters.

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

Depression is part of the human condition. Some people experience episodes of depression only on occasion depending on life and its circumstances. Others, however, experience depression chronically. We will take a look at the type of depression you suffer from and help you address the issues that predispose you to and perpetuate it. I will help you make changes that either help you to live life without depression or to better manage it.

Online counseling is effective for depression because it is easy to access: you can start treatment without even leaving the house.

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.
