PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. oo often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

You can’t sleep, because you can’t stop thinking about all things you said that day that were 'weird' or 'wrong' or 'awkward'. You can’t finish your to-do list, because you keep getting distracted by things that seem more important so you are constantly playing catch up. You’re often late because you struggle to get out of your house feeling put together ‘enough’ to leave the house. When you try to correct these issues, it seems like the solutions are simple – maybe you even say to yourself “this shouldn’t be this big of a deal” – and yet something is keeping you stuck. If you have been feeling like a ‘failure’ and wondering why you ‘can’t get it together’ – let’s talk. I'm going to take a guess that in reality - you’re not even close to being a failure and you probably have things much more together than you realize – but anxiety may be causing you to stay stuck in patterns that aren’t working for you. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with postpartum depression/anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.
