Depression
Depression and anxiety are often two sides of the same coin. Both are common emotions that most people experience intermittently, but sometimes the emotions becomes a clinical condition that negatively impact a person's life. Depression can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and hopelessness. Through counseling, you can learn to challenge negative thinking patterns, set realistic goals with action steps, regain your motivation, build momentum, and re-engage in the life you envision.
Throughout treatment, we will explore your triggers (stress, times of year, too much alone time) and any life events (ie. loss, life transitions) that have contributed to your depression. I might also ask you to periodically complete screeners so we can track the severity of your symptoms. This will guide me as I continually develop and adjust your treatment plan.
Depression can be very isolating and frightening. The important thing to remember is that you don't have to endure it alone. I want to help you through it by compassionately guiding you to build the skills you need to emerge from the darkness and live the meaningful, fulfilling life you deserve.
