In therapy, I integrate essential elements into the healing journey. Together, we will explore aspects of your life that may have been overshadowed by depression, evaluating their value and reintegrating them to build a stronger foundation capable of withstanding challenges. Additionally, we'll consider adding further components to enhance this foundation as you move forward. I eagerly anticipate meeting you and collaborating on your path to healing.




   The latest research on depression concludes that psychotherapy is an effective treatment. 

Depression has the potential to sap you of all your precious energy.  It can make you forget that you ever felt good or different from the  depressed feeling.  Sadness is different from depression.  

Where the Focus is Only on Your Best Self

  • Understand the behaviors, emotions, and ideas that contribute to the depression.
  • Understand and identify the life problems or events--such as major illness, a death of a family member, loss of a job or divorce-- that contribute to their depression and help them understand which aspects of those problems they may be able to solve or improve.
  • Regain a sense of control and pleasure in life
  • Develop coping techniques and problem solving skills to allow for ongoing mood management.
