Depression can show up in some clear and in some less obvious ways. Certain individuals may experience deep sadness and despair, but depression can also show up as persistent irritability, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, physiological changes such as with sleep, and loss of enjoyment of once pleasurable activities. However it may manifest in you, my aim is to work with you in cultivating mind-body awareness, discovering untapped strengths and resilience, and gaining insight into the source of your feelings.
Depression can feel so overwhelming that it can be difficult to take baby steps forward without support. Together we will understand what your depression is telling us and how to be able to begin feeling relief.
