Do you feel sad, unmotivated, or stuck? Have you been feeling hopeless, isolated, and not your usual self?

Signs of depression can vary for each individual, and include sadness, a sense of emptiness, loss of interest in activities, low energy, difficulty getting out of bed, low self-esteem, self-doubt, loneliness, a sense of foreboding about the future, and, at times, thoughts of suicide.

If you have been struggling with depressive symptoms that interfere with your everyday functioning and/or cause significant distress, therapy can provide significant relief. I will work with you to identify internal, social, environmental, cultural and/or behavioral factors contributing to your depressive symptoms and help you develop skills for addressing these areas of your life.

Cognitive-behavioral techniques can be particularly helpful in identifying and challenging unhelpful thinking styles and behaviors that cause and maintain depression and in providing tools for improving coping and mood. I have specialized training in CBT and mindfulness-based approaches for treating depression and also help clients with issues that often accompany depression, including: 

• Low self-esteem
• Social isolation
• Motivation issues
• Existential concerns
• Stressful life events
• Excessive self-criticism
• Emotion regulation
• Rumination
