When treating depression, I help my clients take small steps towards their goals. Together, we will work to increase your functioning across multiple areas of your life and get to the root of what is holding you back. Collaboratively, I work with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that may incorporate a combination of evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic approaches. This holistic approach addresses the underlying causes of depression and equips clients with practical coping skills. I also emphasize the significance of self-care, including regular exercise, healthy sleep habits, and balanced nutrition. Encouraging clients to engage in activities they find enjoyable and fulfilling helps to promote positive emotions and boosts overall well-being. Throughout the therapeutic journey, I strive to empower my clients by providing education and resources for them to better understand depression, recognize early warning signs, and navigate setbacks. By focusing on building resilience and fostering a sense of empowerment, clients are empowered to take charge of their mental health and work towards long-term recovery.
