If you’ve been feeling down, irritable, hopeless, and exhausted for some time now, you know how difficult it is to live this way. You may find that you’ve lost interest in things you used to love, have trouble focusing or getting motivated. Some days you may cry more than usual or struggle just to get out of bed. You just don’t feel like you.

Though we all feel sad or low sometimes, depression is an ongoing issue that makes everyday life more challenging. Depression can leave you feeling lost and alone. Defeated and disconnected.

 You are not alone.

Depression is treatable, and many people experiencing depression find real relief with the right support. I utilize a depth-focused, whole-person approach to help clients move through depression and find relief on the other side. I believe that we humans hold so much complexity and wisdom within us. For this reason, I consider the various facets of a client’s experience—relational, emotional, physical, biological—rather than symptoms alone.

Evidence shows that treatment for depression is most effective when clients receive both psychotherapy and psychiatry support. However, not all clients require medication to find symptom relief. I am happy to offer psychiatry referrals to clients if/when needed and support clients in talking through their options.
