I believe in creating a space for clients to process their depression and it's root causes. I also work with clients with depression on self care and using mindfulness to ground themselves.
Seeking therapy for depression provides clients with a safe space to express their emotions, learn their specific triggers and patterns, and create coping strategies to help you build resilience, self-esteem, and confidence. We will work collaboratively to empower you to make positive changes in your life so you can experience greater emotional well-being and fulfillment.
Depression effects the mind and the body. Creative Arts psychotherapy integrates all of the benefits of traditional psychotherapy- working with somebody whom you can trust who helps you feel understood and supported, while also allowing for a creative exploration that engages both the mind and the body. Some clients make art weekly, while others do creative work more sporadically, depending on their interests and needs. Together, we will find ways for you to feel better, learn new skills, and reconnect with your internal and external resources.

If you want more detail, contact me and I will send you a chapter from one of my textbooks that covers the basis and treatment of depression.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy helps clients explore and understand the unconscious forces that may be driving unwanted behaviors or thought patterns and unlock their potential. CBT helps a client challenge their self-defeating, mood-degrading thought cycle to spur a upshift in mood and optimism.
