With dedicated experience, I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. This encompasses a year of comprehensive work in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating depression, alongside anxiety disorders. My approach involves tailored treatment plans aimed at empowering individuals to overcome depression and anxiety, ultimately reclaiming their sense of well-being and resilience.
Sadness and loneliness are normal feelings we experience at times in life. The experience becomes abnormal when it begins to interfere with your ability to eat, sleep, work communicate, care for yourself or enjoy social activities. Depression can manifest itself in the form of hopelessness and despair. Depression can be an overwhelming experience that robs you of your energy and desire to move forward in life. In therapy, I can assist you in working through the underlying issues that is causing the depression and use a solution focused approach to counter act the depression and move toward the life you desire.
Depression can be overwhelming and cause you to feel helpless, but you will be taught the tools and skills to help you overcome depression and minimize triggers that could increase your chances of having depression.
Depression can be caused by many things. For some, it's living a life that is not consistent with one's purpose and values. For others, it's due to inflammation in the body. For a lot of us, it's both. We can work together to determine what is causing your depressive symptoms and develop a plan to decrease your depression and improve your overall functioning.
My approach to therapy is incredibly empowering and client-centered. By fostering a non-judgmental atmosphere and allowing individuals to set their own pace and goals, I create a space where clients feel empowered and capable of making lasting changes in their lives. It is evident in the first session that I prioritize the individual's autonomy and encourage them to take ownership of their therapeutic journey.
