My approach to treating depression is to help you reduce depressive symptoms to improve your sleep, concentration and general outlook on life.

Facing conflict and reducing avoidance will help you gain an understanding of what is behind some of the symptoms that are making you uncomfortable. My goal is to help you make positive changes to cope effectively.

Depression has become pretty common in today's world; people become depressed for many reasons, but what is important is helping them to get out of their depression.

Examining your world and making choices that best reflect what is in your best interest can trigger feelings leading to a sense of control and comfort for the future. Sometimes we must simply recognize and cope with feelings of low mood and find ways to move through and be resilient in the face of depression.
