My approach in working with clients with depression is to look at various spheres of influence and identifying problematic factors in the life of a client to intervene with.

I have specific training and experience working with clients who are struggling with issues of depression.

Healing from depression takes time. It took time to get there, it takes time to recover. I encourage my clients to take it one simple step at a time, as often we are way to hard on ourselves when depressed. Together we will look into underlying issues that are supporting the depression, as well as daily habits that can help you rise to the surface.

I often find that depression comes from something being suppressed or stopped. It could be from now or from childhood. Giving the body/mind the space to express and be listened too generally allows for release and a freedom which gives rise to more creative lifeforce energy and flow.

When it comes to depression, we rely on cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness-based interventions to improve mood and decrease risk of relapse. Specific interventions that we use include behavioral activation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Many of us experience periods in our lives where we feel stuck and I truly honor those individuals who are willing to come forward and say that they are tired of the daily struggles and that they need help. Through a collaborative approach, my hope is to guide clients into accessing the necessary tools that reside inside of them as a way to propel them forward.

I have worked with many clients who struggle with depression and I have successfully treated them by using a combination of CBT and EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is especially beneficial when clients also had trauma in their past that may be related to their current struggle with depression.

Almost 10% of adults in the United States experience symptoms of depression at some point in their lives. We make a false distinction in this country between mental and physical health. Our brains are major organs that are vulnerable to illness in same way as other systems in our bodies. I welcome the chance to help you figure out what is causing your brain to suffer and to begin to recover.

I aim to help clients unlock and release the negative feelings associated with this pervasive state of not feeling good.

Depression and anxiety are often situational, but just as often they are rooted in a core experience of ourselves that has persisted a long time, and resists any efforts to think our way clear of them.

Depression can feel like you're weighed down, stuck at the bottom of a well, living a life devoid of meaning, or lost in a fog. It can feel ever-present, or like a constant lurking possibility.

Depression creates a sense of hopelessness and feelings that things might never change. It can take up all the space in the room.

Depressive symptoms is on a spectrum of severity and shows up differently for different people. You might be highly functioning but lacking in joy and vitality.

Depression can mean so many different things to different people, but tends to have one common theme: your life does not look or feel the way you desire. You have little energy, little time, or so few of the relationships you desire in your life. And getting out of that feels scary, if not impossible. But it doesn\'t always have to be this way, change is possible, and healing can happen.
