Depression is one of the most common mental health issues, and fortunately, there are effective treatment options for it. I specialize in numerous treatment approaches for depression, including two evidence-based treatments (cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy). Together, we will determine which treatment option might be best for you, and we will focus on helping you get back to feeling more like yourself.

Psychologist, PhD
Sometimes trying too hard to get rid of unwanted feelings and thoughts backfires. I want to help you learn to react differently to those unwanted thoughts so that you can keep your focus on living a fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We can work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Depression is often misunderstood, thought to be the same as sadness or grief. While there are certainly similarities, depression has a different quality to it. Depression can make you feel like you have no life spark. It can make you feel like time has stopped. It can feel like it is taking over your life. Depression may be primarily organic, due to a chemical imbalance, or it may be primarily situational, or it can be a combination of both. Therapy can be very helpful for a person experiencing depression. It provides a place where things that are hard to talk about can be worked through. Many times, past trauma, as well as current situations, contribute to depression. Over time, we may get into habits of thought, feeling, and behavior that also contribute to depression. Even dietary habits can contribute. I use a holistic approach with psychodynamic underpinnings to look at past history, past trauma, beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, and health and self-care habits to help clients address their depression.
