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.

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.

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 encourage self-care as a way to manage and improve your mood including walking, journal writing and developing a strong social network. I will also explain the role of the brain in depression and discuss how medication can help.

In our work together around depression, I aim to create a space where we can separate the influence of depression from your identity. Rather than viewing depression as a personal failure or flaw, we explore it as something external that has its own story and impact on your life. Together, we’ll examine how depression has shaped your experiences, but also uncover the skills, values, and beliefs that resist its influence. This approach allows us to collaboratively strengthen your preferred identity and reconnect with meaningful aspects of your life, creating openings for hope and agency.

Depression can feel draining and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be a major part of your life forever.
