Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!

You’ve been staring at your to-do list for half an hour and still haven’t made a bit of progress. You’re not sure when everything became so complicated. Even the things you used to enjoy have turned into overwhelming obstacles. You see the people around you being productive, socializing, and making progress in their lives. Meanwhile, you feel stuck in place, like the world is passing you by.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

It takes courage to be honest about how you're really feeling and get the resources you need while working through life issues, challenges, or traumatic experiences. In this process, clients reach out when they're navigating varying degrees of distress and overwhelm, and they're looking for further support. I work collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths, expand their ways of coping, and improve the relationships they have with themselves and others.

Perhaps you are experiencing intrusive, shameful thoughts and self-label as a “horrible person,” or is engaging in unwanted repetitive behaviors that take up too much of your time. You may be feeling deep sadness that you cannot shake, and a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. Most of your energy may be directed towards avoiding certain situations due to the discomfort and distress they bring. All these can be overwhelming but don't give up. I have the tools you need to find relief.
