My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based interventions tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll work towards understanding the root causes of your depression and developing practical strategies to alleviate symptoms and promote healing. You don't have to navigate this challenging terrain alone.
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.
If you have feelings of sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, lack of energy, lack of interest in activities that were once pleasurable, disruptions in sleep and appetite, guilt, and neglect of self-care, you may be suffering from depression. Please reach out and get the help you need.
Depression can range from mild to severe and, I believe, requires flexibility to treat as we all have different needs. I often utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Depression but tend to integrate other evidence based approaches based on each individual person.
