Regardless of what a client's story is or how they got depressed—they have shut down, emotionally and physically. Thus, depression can be viewed as an adaptive protector of sorts. If we consider depression as a voice that serves to protect the core self, it may be the only way their system can respond when it's overwhelmed. I assist clients with depression by exploring the underlying cause of depression. Grief? Anger? What's going on? And then validating their feelings, not just helping solve their problems. When they feel understood and seen, they open up and find their own answers. Just being an empathic ear and being attuned to them in session, creates an atmosphere that's secure and safe

Therapy for depression offers hope from despair. The benefits include gaining skills to change negative thinking to more positive thinking; and filtering out what is serious in life compared to minor. You will experience personal growth while regaining control over your life by making choices, setting boundaries, and identifying personal strengths.

We all feel sad from time to time. Sadness is a natural and normal reaction to certain experiences and events. Depression, however, is an emotional experience that goes beyond just feeling sad. When sadness becomes more than an occasional event, when a loss of interest in the things that used to bring you joy becomes a daily routine, and your desire to interact with those you love diminishes... the time has come to seek some form of therapeutic help. Don't let the weight and burden of depression keep you from enjoying your life and relationships. Schedule your evaluation today to address the depressive symptoms that are keeping you from living the life you want and deserve.

Depression is a loss of hope. It is an over-focus on the past, a fusion with events and circumstances that cannot be changed. As we work through the underlying causes of your depression, we can develop a new understanding of its origin for you and begin to form new neuro-pathways that can create feelings of hope. By intentionally fostering thoughts of things like gratitude and grace, we can begin to reformulate your thought processes and help you find your passion and purpose. I have had clients that, over time, have been able to give up anti-depressant medications completely! You can be one of them!

Listen to your depression. If you think you are depressed, it is important to learn why you feel depressed and work on changing your thoughts, behaviors, environment, and/or lifestyle. This is not easy to do---actually it is quite hard! However, changing these factors is a much better way to achieve long lasting results, compared to covering the problem with medication. Some people need medication. However, therapy is always important because we all have negative thoughts and problematic behaviors that can cause depression. With therapy, many do not need medication and others often need less medication.
