Depression: Navigating the Deep Stillness
From Systemic Shutdown to Vitality
Depression is often described as "sadness," but for many, it feels more like a shut down—a heavy, gray fog that disconnects you from your vitality, your relationships, and your sense of self. It is a state of chronic burnout where the nervous system has opted for "freeze" because "fight or flight" no longer feels possible. In my practice, we approach depression with radical curiosity, looking for the light that still exists beneath the weight.
Understanding the Layers of the "Fog"
Depression is rarely a solo traveler; it is influenced by the systems we live in and the attachments we hold. We explore:
The Weight of the Mask: Addressing the exhaustion of "performing" wellness while feeling a profound internal overwhelm.
Systemic Despair: Using Systems Theory to acknowledge how social inequities, power imbalances, and environmental stressors contribute to a sense of hopelessness.
The Attachment Gap: Identifying the "emotional isolation" that often fuels depressive cycles, even when you are surrounded by people.
A Multidimensional Path to Recovery
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you gently re-engage with life:
EMDR for the "Core Beliefs": We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories and negative self-narratives—like "I am a burden" or "It will never get better"—that keep the depressive cycle in motion.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "depressed part" of your system. Often, this part is trying to protect you from further pain by keeping you small and still. We work to build safety so this part can finally rest.
Nutrition-Informed Therapy: We look at the "gut-brain axis" and how physical nourishment and lifestyle rhythms impact your neurochemistry and mood.
Holding the Hope Until You Can
Whether you are experiencing a "situational dip" due to a life transition or have struggled with a "persistent low" for years, I provide a courageous space to do the heavy lifting. My goal is not just the absence of symptoms, but the presence of connection, agency, and joy.

Jenn Zatopek
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, EMDR
I'm trained in DBT which is cognitive behavioral skills + mindfulness, but it's also fantastic life skills training, and really helps with depression reduction. Together I'll teach you the necessary skills to help accept yourself, find ways to settle your nervous system when you're triggered, develop a different relationship to your emotions, and ask for what you want in relationships, which will help create a positive change for your future. These skills will help get you out of your funk so you can feel good again.

Dr. John VanderKaay & The Center for Mighty Marriages & Families
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, LMFT, BCPCC, BCPC
Feeling sad is something that everyone feels from time to time. It is a feeling that should come and go, usually depending on whether something was lost. Healthy sadness is intended to be only a visitor. It is not intended to move in. If it does, you may have depression. Sometimes depression has a physical cause and sometimes it has a psychological cause and sometimes it has both. I help people deal with the cause and create a better tomorrow, without the unwanted roommate of depression.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce sadness and depression related symptoms - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients struggle with recurrent depression, often impacted by their anxiety and social rejection for being different in some way (racial/ethnic minority, growing up poor, queer, trans/nonbinary, non-monogamous, neurodivergent, etc.). It can be hard to have positive self-esteem when you get so much feedback from others that being different is a bad thing.

Jill Wiseman
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
The two primary therapeutic approaches that I use with clients are both evidence-based treatments for reducing symptoms of depression. Accelerated Resolution Therapy often reduces the negative emotional reaction to depression triggers in an average of 1 to 5 sessions. Cognitive Behavior Therapy helps clients identify and replace the unhelpful thinking that leads to uncomfortable feelings and less preferred actions. Together, these two approaches can help bring faster relief from depression and "clear your headspace" to learn new strategies and tools for helping yourself cope better with life's challenges.

Alanna Preylo
Therapist, LMSW
What if someone did get it? What if you didn’t have to explain it? What if you didn't have to feel it alone? Would the world open up for you? Would it help you find the strength to face the tiredness?
If this sounds familiar, I can help. Therapy can be a place to feel seen, understood, and supported.
