How I Approach Depression Therapy
There is no one-size-fits-all path through depression. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, always tailored to your story, your nervous system, and what you're ready for.
IFS helps you explore the parts of yourself carrying pain with compassion rather than judgment. CBT works to shift the thought patterns keeping depression in place. EMDR can help process the deeper roots. And mindfulness builds a kinder relationship with your inner world, so difficult emotions no longer have to pull you under.
Frequently Asked Questions About Depression Therapy
Sadness is a normal human emotion that comes and goes. Depression tends to be more persistent, like a low, heavy feeling that doesn't lift, often accompanied by fatigue, withdrawal, and a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy. If something feels off and has been for a while, that's reason enough to reach out. You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support.
Yes, therapy is one of the most effective treatments for depression, particularly approaches like CBT, IFS, and EMDR. Many people find that therapy not only helps lift their depression but also gives them tools and insight that support their wellbeing long after our work together ends.
Not at all. Therapy can be effective on its own, and many people choose therapy as their first step. For some, a combination of therapy and medication works best, but that's always a personal decision made with your doctor. My role is to support you with therapy, whatever else you're doing for your mental health.
This is one of the most common things I hear and it makes complete sense. Depression often takes away the very energy you'd need to seek help. That's why our sessions are gentle and flexible. You don't need to arrive ready to work hard. You just need to show up, and we'll go from there.
