Clients will deal with the underlying issues and causes for their depression, as they explore their self identity in the way they think, behave, and relate to their world. Contributing factors to clients' depression will be explored from their past and present collectively and clients will be able to identify them and deal with their impact in their lives, as they find the courage to walk through a path of inner healing of their soul (mind, emotions, will) and spirit.

Sometimes we think of depression as being "stuck"or being "at the bottom of a pit." I believe that strategies for avoiding or withdrawing from the dull pain of depression often contain the very hooks that keep the blues rigidly in place. I work with you to explore the situational, contextual, and emotional aspects of your depression and collaborate with you to get unstuck, raise the bottom of the pit to a better place for you, and ban the blues for good.

Depression can be mild or severe and debilitating. It is very important to understand what type of depression you may have and learn to manage this to improve your quality of life. Depression affects the individual, their work, and their family life. It can be situational or, more often, genetic. Talk therapy, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and the client-therapist relationship are helpful. I see people get better all the time. Join me in making your life the best life possible.

You did not choose to be depressed and it’s not something most people can simply “shake off.” Depression is real. It’s life altering and can trick you in to believing that you can never be happy again. I am here to help. I would be honored to walk with you as we challenge the narrative of your depression while acknowledging how incredibly hard and real it is. You are not alone, and hope can be the beginning to your own healing.

Depression can leave you feeling like even the simplest tasks are impossible. Overtime you can start feeling guilt or shame about how hard life feels for you and isolate yourself. You're not alone in how you feel and you don't have to go through this by yourself! Through CBT, behavioral activation, and a huge does of empathy, you can start feeling like yourself again. Therapy is a safe space to express and feel your emotions and find accountability for moving towards your goals.

Depression is a serious condition that can seriously impair the ability to perform everyday functions and it can also negatively affect several aspects of life. Through the therapeutic process I can help you address feelings of sadness, hopelessness and helplessness by identifying the underlying issues and/or negative or distorted thought patterns that may be contributing to depressive symptoms, recognizing needs, setting healthy boundaries, establishing healthy relationships, developing effective coping skills, and adopting a healthy lifestyle (i.e. nutrition, exercise, sleep, social support and self-care).

It can be difficult to accomplish anything when you are depressed. The smallest tasks seem impossible. Do you wish you could return to feeling like your normal self? I will help you uncover the habits, relationships, or events that have contributed to your depression. Being intentional about tuning into yourself, and a willingness to expand your comfort zone will be critical in this process. I will help you reclaim the parts of yourself that depression has stolen, and put frameworks into place to prevent it from happening again.

Fortunately, treatment for depression is available and a person can get much better, often quickly, with regular effective treatment. The treatment of depression can include medication, psychotherapy, diet and exercise and many other strategies that help people overcome the symptoms of depression while addressing the underlying causes. I use a very active and holistic approach to this problem, coming at it from a comprehensive perspective.

I provide education of why you are feeling this way, most of the time its connected back to childhood what you didnt get, feeling ignored, abused or watching things you were to young to experience. Sometimes its a chemical imbalance and a psychiatrist recommendation is needed. We will identify at each visit the good things that are happening in your life that is more then you think when we start writing it down.
