Depression Counseling in Spring Lake Park, MN.

My method of treating depression is to assess the causes of the depression, mobilize your strengths, and support you in making the needed behavioral, cognitive and emotional changes. Depression can result from biological and/or psychosocial factors. Effective treatment will explore the underlying causes as well as developing more effective coping skills. These skills include using social support, changing self-talk, resolving underlying issues, healthy emotional expression, setting and achieving goals, and increasing assertive behavior. My clinical approach to treatment is to be actively engaged, supportive, direct and practical.

Therapy doesn’t have to be overwhelming. If you’re living with depression, you don’t have to face it alone. We’ll work together to ease the heaviness, uncover what’s holding you back, and build tools that help you feel more in control. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about real, lasting change at your pace. You already have strength, even if it feels buried right now. Our goal is to help you reconnect with that strength and move forward—one step at a time.
