Depression

 Depression is a serious mental health condition that can impact how we think, feel and behave. It is characterized by a low mood or loss of interest in activities that interferes with daily life.

Depression feels heavy emotionally, physically, mentally.

Depression can be painful - achy/stiff joints, headaches, hard to describe body aches and pains. It can cause digestive problems, stomach upset.

Depression causes trouble with sleep or waking up too early, sleeping or eating too much, having trouble concentrating or remembering things.

Depression may cause feelings of guilt, helplessness, worthlessness; thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.

Depression can be caused by factors including family history of depression, chemical imbalances (serotonin/dopamine) in the brain, stressful life events, trauma, chronic medical conditions, difficult personal and professional relationships, stressful family environments.

I offer a safe nonjudgemental space for you to think what you need to think, feel what you need to feel and say what you need to say. Many of my clients have found this to be the first step in feeling like themselves again. Some also prefer to include medications - this is a personal decision and would be made between you and your doctor/psychiatrist.

I look forward to meeting and working with you.

I offer in office and telehealth appointments.
