Welcome to a specialized practice dedicated to guiding individuals through the complexities of depression. As an experienced therapist with expertise in treating depression, I offer a compassionate and evidence-based approach to help clients reclaim their sense of well-being and vitality. Through comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment plans, I collaborate closely with clients to explore the underlying factors contributing to their depression and develop effective coping strategies. Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and psychodynamic techniques, I empower clients to challenge negative thought patterns, cultivate self-compassion, and foster resilience. With a commitment to providing a supportive and non-judgmental space, my goal is to help clients navigate their journey toward healing and rediscover a life filled with purpose, joy, and hope.
In our comfortable, home-like ranch setting, clients of all ages and income levels are provided counseling or psychotherapy with the assistance of certified counselors and their trained therapy animals. Have a cup of tea and pet the baby goats while you wait, or sit quietly in our gazebo and read.
Depression can weigh a person down and makes all aspects of life seem impossible. Therapy is often helpful for managing depression, especially through taking a mind-body approach to help cope with symptoms as well as understand the root causes. I take a holistic approach. We take a look at functional nutrition resources, work on incorporating daily body movement, and increase effective coping skills. We also explore the emotional piece of your depression. This is where I often see client's relate with themselves in a very self-critical way and we explore and practice the antithesis, which is self-compassion.
Depression can be an intelligent coping strategy that our bodies and nervous systems create to protect from feelings we haven't been able to or had the right support to turn towards. I help people meet this pattern and honor the intelligence, and this can lead way to a shift and opening into more aliveness.
In my work with depression, I bring a compassionate, understanding heart to every session. I know how depression can cast a shadow over everything, making even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable. Our work together starts with creating a space where you feel safe to share your feelings and experiences, no matter how dark or deep they may seem. Together, we explore the root causes of your depression, whether they lie in past experiences, current stressors, or patterns of thinking. I employ a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, aiming to shift negative thought patterns and introduce strategies that foster a sense of hope and well-being. My approach is about more than just managing symptoms; it's about rediscovering joy, meaning, and connection in your life. Together, we'll navigate this path towards healing, step by gentle step.
We work together to resolve unhealed emotions and break patterns they’ve been stuck in so they can grow in setting limits, building confidence, and feeling better.
