In treating depression with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I begin by assessing the client's symptoms and understanding how depression impacts their daily functioning. Education is key, as I explain the connection between thoughts, emotions, and mood. Together, we identify negative thought patterns and work on replacing them with more realistic and positive perspectives. Behavioral activation involves setting goals for enjoyable or necessary activities, even when motivation is low. Relaxation techniques and mindfulness exercises help manage stress and promote emotional well-being. Homework assignments reinforce new skills, like monitoring mood or practicing relaxation. Regular review ensures we adapt our approach based on progress and client feedback, aiming to empower clients in overcoming depression and improving their overall mental health.
Whether your depression has been life-long, or is situational, therapy can help you feel better and learn ways to alleviate depression symptoms. Our work together will address current symptoms and explore the underlying causes of depression.
It's hard to get "unstuck" when you're feeling depressed. I have expertise in identifying thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to and perpetuate depressive symptoms. I can balance encouragement and cheerleading with practical action steps to get you on the path towards change.

I am well-versed in evidence-based treatment modalities that have been shown to be effective in managing depression. These may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies; interpersonal therapy (IPT), which focuses on improving relationships and communication skills; and behavioral activation, which involves increasing engagement in positive, rewarding activities.

Depression is debilitating! Having personally being depressed for many years, I understand the pain and suffering depression causes in us. From my own healing journey, I had to evaluate my entire body, not just my thoughts. Depression is caused by many factors and it's important to evaluate everything. My background in neuroscience, nutrition (gut-brain connection), and psychology is very useful in helping my clients understand the root causes of their depression and determine realistic ways to improve their lives.

Depression like anxiety presents in many ways across a spectrum from severe to mild but in any form, it is a burden and a concern that is important to address. It can blunt or obscure much or all of the joy of being alive. It is not only a primary cause of suicide in the extreme but even in mild form can cast a pall over the perceived worth and relevance of one's life. In short, the psychic and emotional suffering of depression is vital to address whenever possible and we are prepared, skilled and eager to help you to do so.
I have an existential focus in my practice that presumes that all individuals seek meaning, purpose, and self-actualization. I believe that depressive symptoms derive from a lack of meaning and purpose.
