The first step in dealing with depression is psycho/educational regarding the physical connections between medical issues and depression. All clients should have a full medical work up and rule out the possibility of medical causes with depression. Lifestyle choices, diet, sleep hygiene, exercise and relational boundaries will be explored during treatment of depression. In a sense, "depressed" symptoms can be connected to a multitude of causes. The traditional psychodynamic approach in embracing our stories honestly and examining our relational tendencies to repress the uncomfortable parts of our past will also be utilized to liberate the client from the pain of depression.

When working with depression, I use a combination of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), talk therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working with adults and teens and play therapy when working with children. If there is a clinical depression diagnosis, Neurofeedback or consulting a doctor about medication options may also be recommended as a part of the treatment process.

Sometimes, depression is so painful, we hold it in, rather than risk getting overwhelmed by feelings. It can be scarey to express feelings. Taking any action may be the last thing you feel like doing, especially when you lose sight of hope. Your energy may be low, and relationships can be affected. It may feel like you are mad at the world, or just want to retreat. I will try to make it safe for you. I will listen and also guide you, when needed. People find that when they are seen and heard, part of their feelings of isolation lifts. We will also examine the thoughts that keep you stuck and explore other meanings. Sometimes adding nonverbal work, like art, helps express scarey feelings.

Depression and/or anxiety can be debilitating and may lead you to a scary place . I use a variety of clinical interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) to overcome internal obstacles that may be getting in the way of enjoying life. Depression can keep a person stuck in the same place for years without any progress. Depression, if left untreated, may also become a thought disorder and that can be addictive.

Depression and the symptoms that each person copes with can be unique and often individual to your experiences. My goal as a therapist is to combine my therapeutic knowledge and your expertise on who you are, to help empower you to learn about yourself, your distinct relationship with Depression, and to help you take charge of the change you want to see happen in your life.

Counseling/psychotherapy sessions often incorporate play-based, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral strategies.

Feeling depressed? I can help you enjoy life again. Though my practice is focused on anxiety, I frequently help my anxious clients with depression as well.

I typically get results even when other types of treatment and medication have failed.

Whether depression has been present since early childhood or came on after a challenging situation, depression makes everything in life harder. The feelings of depression can be intense and overwhelming, they can also be dull and numb. In counseling we take the times to explore what your experience of depression is like for you and create a plan reconnect to your most meaningful life. One of my primary therapeutic approaches is ACT-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In this model we learn many tools and interventions to release the grip of the struggle from our internal and external experiences, and start moving towards the things that really matter, give your life meaning value.

Depression is a complex problem that affects many different aspects of the sufferer’s life. It can affect the body, and generate physical symptoms like insomnia, fatigue, appetite disturbances, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Psychotherapy and antidepressant medications are the two most commonly used treatments for managing depression. Many people use a combination of the two. Psychotherapy is a non-drug alternative that is generally as effective as medication, and in some ways even superior because it treats the root causes of depression. In my practice I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to replace the dysfunctional thoughts that are causing depressive symptoms with functional thoughts.

When life gets you down and you feel like you can't go on. What can you do? It takes so much energy to just get out of bed how will you ever feel happy? Stuck in the muck. Drowning in dreary living. The future looks dull and there is no end in sight. Learn to connect to your heart's desire and begin to dream about what really matters to you. By clarifying your values and then working on a plan on how to bring those values to life is part of therapy. Knowing you are living for a purpose can add a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction to your life. I can teach you new skills to help you connect to your dreams. Once, you are clear about your dreams you can make a plan to have them come true.

Depression is more than a word, for many people it is a temporary or chronic state of sadness, fear, frustration, confusion, chaos, and meaninglessness. When depression is present, the things that used to make a person happy are now dull, lifeless, and without joy. Furthermore, depression robs us of our will to change, of our hope, and of our energy. Inertia and darkness can then take over a life. Working through depression requires compassion for ourselves and patience with the process. We begin to gradually rediscover and integrate essential activities back into our lives. Ultimately we regain momentum and then can find the source of the depression and work on taking its energy away.

Depression may show up in a variety of different ways for you; you may notice that you are feeling deeply sad, lonely, and alone. You may also be noticing that you are lacking in energy, inspiration, and motivation. Depression or overwhelming feelings of sadness and despair are often clues that something deeper is going on within your psyche and within your body. More often than not there is a reason for your depression, even when you are not consciously aware of it. Your body doesn't speak in words, the way your mind does, rather it communicates with you through your feelings, sensations, and emotions. Often ignoring your emotions can intensify your feelings of depression.

If you are experiencing situational or chronic depression, you need help. In a safe environment, we will explore the experiences and thought processes that lead to depression. Then, by reframing, I will help you keep what is true and discard the incorrect beliefs that caused your depression in the first place.

I will also explain the role of the brain in depression and discuss how medication can help.
