Depression, hopelessness, powerlessness, loneliness, dead inside. Having a reliable and trusted relationship to provide support when we believe no one can bear to be with us can make the difference. We can begin to feel we're worth the time, the effort, that we matter. Eventually, with patience, what we feel (or can't feel) can begin to make sense. A sense of connection and agency can return.
Can we transform emotional pain into personal growth and find hope? I can help you become aware of how certain negative automatic thoughts, beliefs and expectations contribute to feelings of anxiety and sadness. Often these automatic negative thought patterns are developed as a result of a past painful and difficult experience. They determine how we deal with loss, change, conflict and social interactions. Supporting you in identifying and understanding these thought patterns, can help resolve problems in maintaining relationships and establish a stronger sense of self-worth. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for therapy.

Depression is a mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is normal for us to feel down from time to time. A person experiencing depression is experiencing more than just sadness, they are feeling a severe kind of despair that occurs over a significant period, and thus affects every aspect of their life.
