I have extensive experience working with clients struggling with depression in residential treatment facilities, inpatient psychiatric facilities and outpatient mental health settings. I also serve as Clinical Director for a co-occurring disorder treatment center.
Depression is a wicked beast that likes to hold you in place due to your past experiences. Using CBT to look back at those experiences, we can reframe them to improve our moods and emotions today. Depending on the severity, it may need medication intervention.
Depression can be situational or clinical. Broadly speaking, situational depression is caused by unmet needs (sometimes controllable, sometimes not), while clinical depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance. Both can be helped in therapy by regaining control of our decisions, reframing perspectives, and improving our ability for self-care.
I provide empathetic and tailored support to individuals seeking relief from the weight of persistent sadness. Through collaborative therapy, we'll work together to explore the root causes, develop coping strategies, and pave a path towards renewed emotional well-being.

People with Depression often believe there is something wrong with themselves, sometimes unable to identify that depression is coloring the way they see themselves and the world. Compassionate therapy, psychoeducation and behavioral changes can address depression. Medication along with therapy have proven to be very effective.
Depression has a dangerous tendency to build upon itself. As a result, normal life tasks such as work and relationships start to fall by the wayside. Eventually, doing the bare minimum creates new problems, which cause stress and worsening depression. We will work together to explore the underlying causes of your depression and develop coping mechanisms, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope.

Depression is nearly always the result of exposure to some form of trauma, whether that is a single catastrophic incident or long term exposure to abuse or neglect. I specialize in working with the role that a person's inner self plays in provoking depression. Specifically, are you someone who has an inner voice that attacks you, or runs you down, or has expectations that are too high to meet? I can help you to transform the way you think and talk to yourself and thereby help to reduce your depression.
