All of our therapists work with depression, and are constantly sharing ideas and strategies with each other to help our clients get to feeling better faster.
Mary Louise Von Franz once said that “depression is a blessing.” Believe it or not if we confront our depression with curiosity, what we learn will be freeing.
If you're feeling exhausted, discouraged, down, and sluggish, adding something else to the list of things to do is likely the last thing that you'd want. Even if it is "supposed to be helpful", finding a the right therapist and starting the process of therapy can be overwhelming. I work to reduce that barrier as much as possible by using EMDR and Internal Family Systems to help you feel like yourself and to build the skills and strengths to buffer you against depression in the future. In working together you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and an abundance of metaphors. Reach out for a free consultation and lets see how we can move forward together.
If you have a tendency to be really hard on yourself, you may find that sometimes you feel down and gloomy. If you're ready and commited to feeling more at peace and satisfied with how things are going for you in life, this is something we can work through together!
Wether you are struggling with depression, or postpartum depression, I can help. We will identify your patterns of being stuck in your depression and develop a tailored plan for you to start your journey of feeling more empowered, and motivated.
Depression can affect so many aspects of our lives and leave us feeling like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. I utilize CBT to help clients better understand their thoughts and feelings to break patterns.
I have been treating depression symptoms and related disorders for many years such that it is an area in which I have particular experience. You and I will examine the component parts of your symptoms such as emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. We’ll then examine how these parts are connected and how they impact each other. I’ll help you create changes to one or more of these parts to achieve your desired symptom relief.
The life of a young person can be difficult, and when unresolved trauma or mental health concerns have not been addressed, it can be difficult to thrive. Maladaptive behaviors can begin to arise due to untreated depression, and young adults may find it difficult to carry out every day tasks such as completing secondary education, providing for themselves or holding down a job. Through our integrated approach to treatment at our treatment center for depression that identifies and heals underlying mental health concerns, we help young adults to grab hold of a bright future.
