I use several different theories in my treatment of Depression. One is Cognitive Behavioral therapy because our minds are very powerful and this theory is a proven theory to use for counseling. We can retrain our brains to take the negativity out and replace it with a more positive outlook on life. We have differnent negative thought patterns such as black and white thinking. I can explain this all in our sessions.

Depression appears different for every person. For some, slight modifications to their life can help immensely. Others literally get out of bed or perform activities one step at time. I meet the client where they are in their experience of depression, helping them realize that depression is just a part of daily life, not something that defines them or has to debilitate them. Together we work on coping skills, self care, and developing support systems. Medication is sometimes part of treatment as well.

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 is one of the most common reasons a person will begin therapy. When dealing with depression it is important to begin with the thoughts that start the depression cycle. In therapy together we will explore the initial thoughts, then the feelings, and the actions of your specific depression. We will then find ways to change the negative thoughts and obtain tools for handling life situations that trigger the depressed feelings.
