Depression is like a cloud hangs over your head and follows you around throughout the day. It interferes with daily activities and zaps you of all of your energy. Let's talk about it.
Many of my clients have experienced depression at some points in their lives, if not chronically. We will explore the feelings and thoughts linked to your depressive symptoms and implement EMDR and/or IFS to better understand and support the issues.
Depressive symptoms have to be held with great care and balance. We need to empathize with the pain, try to understand it and get to its root, while also pushing the body, mind & spirit to take supportive action.
Being a human is hard. Who doesn't get depressed now and again? But what if it is more than that? You've been feeling a little down, then the day comes when you just cannot get out of bed, nothing sounds fun (not even the things that usually do), and you just can't quite get yourself to make that call or take that walk, even though you know it might help you to feel better. Then the day stretches to two days, then three, and it starts to feel like you will never feel "normal" again. These feelings are intense, and painful, and you do not have to suffer them alone. Call or email me today.
We all feel and go through periods of depression, a normal state of being. When depression overtakes our ability to function daily, we focus on your innate desire to feel loved and understood on the way to gaining self-acceptance. Therapy can help you readjust your relationship with emotions that may have been previously deemed negative or “bad” in the past, so that you can better decipher the messages that the depression you’re experiencing is attempting to convey to you.
You can “have it all” and still feel deeply depressed—an issue that can be very confusing and shameful. Depression is stigmatized in our society which adds to the level of shame we can feel when we are experiencing it. Together we can unlock what is happening under the surface of your depression and better understand what changes you want to make to feel better in your skin.
The pain you are experiencing is not who you are, it is a message that shows what's out of balance. So much suffering is due to stress, anxiety, depression, and emotions that feel out of control. When they show up in the body &/or mind as symptoms, we are being called to change, to create a life of ease and relief from our critical inner voices and demands. I believe that we all have a natural capacity to heal, given the right conditions to safely and gently come to know our true selves. I hold a supportive container with compassion and experience to allow your highest aspects to come forward and shine.
Depression can suck the life right out of you. There are things you can do to start feeling better right now. Learn strategies for becoming a happier person.
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy works as well as medication for many people. It may be used alone or in combination with other approaches, including exercise and optimal nutrition. Studies have shown that psychotherapy can cause changes in brain function similar to those produced by medications. Focused, goal-oriented forms of therapy such as cognitive-behavior therapy appear to be the most effective in treating depression.
Feeling stuck, losing interest in activities, and experiencing an overall sense of fatigue can negatively impact every aspect of your life. You deserve to experience happiness. Together, we'll implement techniques and practices that will help you start feeling like yourself again.

Depression and anxiety are one of the most common mental illnesses that go hand in hand. During a depressive episode, people feel like they're in a deep, dark pit for weeks, and often can't see any way out. In depression negative thoughts, feeling like a failure, self-doubt, guilt make things only worse. Therapy for depression aims to break these patterns bit by bit, resolve past unconscious conflicts, improve relationships with others so that people feel better about themselves.
