Depression is an experience that is like "falling off the earth". There seems to be no end to the bottom of the pit. In a majority of cases if the depression is not organic, the root cause is usually unresolved anger. 100% of anger is derived from "unresolved hurt" Resolve the hurt and depressions lifts. The hurft go's away and life becomes realistic, liveable and purposeful again.

Depression can leave us feeling hopeless and sometimes even the way our loved ones respond can actually increase our sense of isolation. In my work with clients experiencing depression, I focus first on understanding and appreciating each person’s unique story. Fostering a trusting and collaborative relationship creates an environment that feels safe to explore our emotions and paths to healing.
