One of my favorite trick questions to ask patients hospitalized for depression was, "Is the sky ever grey?" Even though most of the time I TOLD them it was a trick question, they usually said, "Yes." Just like the sky only looks grey because clouds are covering up the sun, we can often FEEL "grey" when depression is covering us. My goal is to help you to get rid of the cloud so that your life can be what it was intended to be.

Does each day feel like a struugle? Do you have a profound sense of sadness? Do you feel empty and lack interest in the activites you once enjoyed? These are all signs of depression. Depression can be triggered by a major event or the build up of many experiences that we carry with us over a lifetime. There can also be underlying bio-chemical causes. I specialize in the treatment of depression and start with a thorough understanding of your unique circumstances. From there we develop a treatment plan that can include processing and resolving past hurts and resentments, learning cognitive behavioral techniques to stop negative thinking and plans for self care.

Depression counseling focuses on trying to help you learn your triggers to depression, coping skills to lift you out of a depressive episode, and evaluation as to whether medication prescribed by a psychiatrist is in your best interests depending on the nature of your depression.

Regardless of the approach, the treatment plan is developed collaboratively with you and builds on your strengths so that you feel empowered on your journey through depression.
