Over the course of our lives, we are going to feel down, sad, irritable, tired, etc that might be periods of depression. Ignoring your feelings will not lead them to go away and we just dont want to suck it up but rather understand and address what it going on in our minds and hearts
With a blend of warmth and expertise in depression, I employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhealthy thinking patterns related to depression. Mindfulness techniques are woven into our sessions to promote relaxation, fostering a sense of calm amidst life's challenges. Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we collaboratively work on recreating a positive self-narrative and building skills to combat depression. Emphasizing self-care, I guide you in cultivating habits that contribute to your overall well-being.
There are a lot of misunderstandings about depression. Depression is not sadness. Sadness may or may not be a component of your depression. There are many different symptoms of depression and not everyone experiences depression in the same way. One thing that is the same for everyone is that you just can't seem to work yourself out of it on your own. Therapy can help. I use a combination of insight-oriented therapy and behavioral interventions to help you get you to the other side of your depression. It's very important to get help as soon as you can because, left untreated, depression tends to get worse over time. You do not have to suffer - depression is very common but it's also very treatable.
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Our practice style is goal oriented using numerous approaches.
I have worked with clients struggling with Clinical Depression since 1983. Depression can be devastation, not only to the client, but to their entire family. Research indicates that a combination of counseling and medication can help address Major Depression. I have written a book on Postpartum Depression titled: "Overcoming Postpartum Depression a Doctor's Own Story" available on Sound Cloud. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, in partnership with Journey Clinical for eligible clients.

There are several different kinds and origins of depression. It's important to diagnose accurately -- a physical depression? Situational depression? Hormonal? Or Psychological. Once diagnosed, proper treatment can begin. Often times, depression can be confused with grief.
