Depression is one of the most common issues in therapy. Depression can create feelings of hopelessness and sometimes suicidal thoughts. I offer a confidential and non-judgmental environment to work through the problems and regain balance in your life.
Depression isn't just sadness. It can be a reaction to an event or it can be when our system just isn't right. We need to poke at it and see what we have before we get a plan going.
Do you feel so weighted down and in the dumps that harming yourself feels like the only way to cope? I guide clients into a deeper awareness of what barriers are keeping them from releasing their fears, negative self-talk, and harmful behavior patterns that keep them from healing and experiencing their own self worth. I help them to rediscover and nurture their own inner healer in order to feel whole and live a fulfilled life with inner peace and joy. Sound like work - - It is, but we will take it slow, and you will discover simple ways to increase your energy and motivation, so that healing is made possible. You can be happy again. Lets get there together.
With the client, we will discover what blockages prevent them from experiencing joy and happiness such as stress, anxiety, and being in a constant state of survival mode. With the release of unhealthy thoughts, behaviors, and sensations, space is made for healthy practices, healing, and real effective change to create what the soul truly needs and desires.
As a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of depression, my approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual client. I draw upon a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), and mindfulness-based interventions, to address the multifaceted nature of depression.
Depression is very common in children and adolescents as well as adults and requires specialized treatment. I use an evidence based approach called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Depression looks a little different for everyone, and can be mild to severe. There are many reasons for depression, external and environmental, illness or pain, biological/genetic, perspective or the inability to mentally and emotionally address hard things. Depression can be very isolating and make you feel like you are alone and different that everyone else, you are not alone! Depression is one of the most common mental and emotional issues we face today, and their is a better and healthier life for you!
As one of the most prevalent mental health concerns and most common reasons for seeking therapy, depression casts a pervasive shadow over countless lives. Depression erodes energy and motivation, adversely impacts perceptions and beliefs, and has a detrimental impact on our experiences of connection with others. Depression can engulf individuals in a relentless cycle of hopelessness, worthlessness, and despair. Its impact reverberates through relationships, work, and daily functioning, robbing individuals of their ability to engage fully in life.
Engaging in therapy for depression can be the crucial first step toward taking your life back from depression. I specialize in evidence-based therapies that help manage the intricate web of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that perpetuate suffering. By fostering a collaborative and empathetic therapeutic alliance, I strive help clients unravel the roots of their depression, challenge negative patterns of thinking, and cultivate healthier coping mechanisms that prevent future experiences of depression.
