Bring light back to your life

The first step can be the hardest when nothing feels enjoyable. Whether you feel numb and like you’re just going through the motions, have a hard time even getting out of bed, or feel a dark cloud creeping in and want to nip it in the bud, therapy with me can help you navigate your depression and work to bring joy back into your life.

Treatment approach

I take a cognitive-behavioral approach when treating depression, with specific treatment plans tailored to the individual person and their circumstances. Sometimes, a behavioral activation approach can help you “fake it till you make it,” and increase your ability to experience pleasure. Cognitive strategies can help you recognize and challenge depressive thoughts, replacing negative self-talk with more helpful and realistic thoughts. When your environment feels out of control, working towards acceptance of the current reality can help make clear the aspects you can change for the better to feel less helpless. We’ll work together to discover the approach that best helps you feel like your life is worth living again.
