Depression

The fight to make it through the day…

Repeatedly snoozing or silencing the alarm because the comfort of the bed, under the covers, in the dark feels like a protective shield.

You’re feeling a lot of things, but mostly an overwhelming weight and burden that nothing about life or your situation can and will get better.

It’s exhausting putting on a ‘brave’ face and false smile. Others think you’re fine, and you’re doing enough to fake it convincingly.

But when the act is over…

…you’re still alone with those thoughts and feelings that keep you down, less motivated.

You only see the pain, frustration, and sadness that won’t go away.

There are very few people who can perform at their best with even low levels of sadness.

You may have begun to think that your sadness is not going to get better without help from a therapist who will listen actively to your story and make you feel heard, valued, respected for who you are and what you have gone through.

I will provide you the skills to change your thoughts…

…understand your past actions related to your current thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and support and guide you with making and achieving your goals and objectives.

In therapy, you will experience relief from your sadness once you are able to talk about your previously privately held thoughts and feelings.

You have heard, or may have personally experienced, that medication can help with depression. You will be interested to know that individual therapy is an excellent way to either supplement or reduce the need for medications in controlling your sadness.

My eight years of working at (from therapist to Program Director) in-patient psychiatric hospitals taught me many valuable lessons – most notably to listen intently to what my clients have to say, put myself in their shoes, problem solve with them, and offer unconditional support for their efforts.

You know you can’t do it on your own.

Now’s the time. Choose happiness.
