Depression has a dangerous tendency to build upon itself. As a result, normal life tasks such as work and relationships start to fall by the wayside. Eventually, doing the bare minimum creates new problems, which cause stress and worsening depression. We will work together to explore the underlying causes of your depression and develop coping mechanisms, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope.
Depression can feel isolating, overwhelming and all-consuming. Through a solution-focused lens, we can identify negative thought patterns and encourage healthy coping strategies that will help you start to feel like yourself again.
I am finally fulfilling my own personal and mythic destiny to be a counselor for individuals wanting to find their own purpose by resolving what has stopped them along their life path. I bring a depth and wealth of academic, professional and real world experiences and education to my clients.
The two primary therapeutic approaches that I use with clients are both evidence-based treatments for reducing symptoms of depression. Accelerated Resolution Therapy often reduces the negative emotional reaction to depression triggers in an average of 1 to 5 sessions. Cognitive Behavior Therapy helps clients identify and replace the unhelpful thinking that leads to uncomfortable feelings and less preferred actions. Together, these two approaches can help bring faster relief from depression and "clear your headspace" to learn new strategies and tools for helping yourself cope better with life's challenges. (Online therapy is not recommended for all clients. I strongly recommend that clients who are experiencing suicidal ideation, self-harm or other high risk symptoms work with a mental health professional in person / face to face therapy.)
Are you feeling stuck? Do you find yourself struggling to get the motivation to get through another week? Is it hard to enjoy things that used to be fulfilling? I would love to work with you to explore the roots of your depression and to help you discover ways to feel excited about life again.
Depression is a way our body tells us that there are issues that we have not resolved reaching a place where we feel completely hopeless. There is, however, an inner energy, a spark towards growth and we need to find that. We will build on strengths to then go heal what hurt us so deeply.

Depression can be situational or clinical. Broadly speaking, situational depression is caused by unmet needs (sometimes controllable, sometimes not), while clinical depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance. Both can be helped in therapy by regaining control of our decisions, reframing perspectives, and improving our ability for self-care.
