Are you feeling "stuck" or believe that depression is dictating your life? If so, I understand your suffering. I'll help you to reduce your depression so that you can live a meaningful and fulfilling life by teaching you skills that are effective & guide you in simple lifestyle changes that work.
Throughout my years in practice, I have helped individuals experiencing depression improve their symptoms and return to a previous level of functioning.
Depression is a very common mental health issue affecting everyone at some point of their lives. Don't suffer unnecessarily without trying to find relief from the symptoms of depression and hopefully find the strength to deal with the source of your pain and suffering.
Recognizing that each person's experience of depression is unique, I emphasize the importance of personalized treatment plans. I conduct thorough assessments to understand the specific factors contributing to a client's depression, whether they are related to genetics, life events, or environmental influences. This individualized approach allows me to create targeted interventions that address the root causes of depression, facilitating more sustainable and long-term recovery.
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.
Psychological treatment for depression involves talking about symptoms and triggers in depth and doing behavioral exercises. Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to break negative thought patterns that promote and reinforce depression such as self doubt and feelings of guilt. The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy is to become more aware of your own thoughts, attitudes and expectations. This makes it possible to identify false and distressing beliefs, and then change them.
My approach in treating depression will always be working collaboratively with my client and providing a warm, supportive space to explore our options. We will focus on helping you get back to feeling more like yourself. Depression is one of the most common mental health issues, and fortunately, there are effective treatment options that I specialize in including evidence-based treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and even EMDR can be beneficial.
Depression sometimes may feel like a mud pile, that we struggle to escape from. You may be experiencing sadness, loss of appetite, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities or social interactions. You may struggle to find the motivation to change but you know you can benefit from a little transformation. Depression is a presenting symptom, it is not the root of the issue. Discovering and treating the root of the issue, so the symptom would not occur or repeat again is my goal as your therapist.
If you are feeling sad or hopeless, losing pleasure in activities you enjoyed, having appetite or sleep issues, feeling irritable or having crying spells please know that you are not alone. Together we can find ways to work through your symptoms and move towards finding your unique purpose in life.
