Beat depression and embrace life again
Reconnect to life. Reconnect to yourself.
You don’t have to live as a shell of a person, you can live life Boldly
Life can leave you asking yourself, is this all there is? Things you loved may now feel lack luster and just not worth doing. Maybe you’re hoping time will just pass by until things become more manageable but the relief never comes. Instead, shame and guilt seem to arrive like an uninvited guest further beating you down. This can leave you feeling like you’re wearing a mask, unsure of how to regain the real you.
“Depression is like being color blind and constantly told how colorful the world is”
-Atticus Poetry
Your self-worth is not determined by your struggles:
Everyone feels hurt and experiences the world differently, if we didn’t it would be a very boring world
Any guilt or shame you feel merely means you aspire for more and want to live a life of value
Our depression can be like a panicked child, it has good intentions letting us know something is off about the world we live in but it tells us by screaming at us
how i can help
Depression therapy can help you find your own shade of happiness
Learn to use tools to manage painful moments, emotions, and unhelpful thoughts.
Identify values that are important and map out what you want life to look like
Create an action plan to start living the life you want
Receive validation that acknowledges your pain
Understand that your feelings are a sign that tell you what needs are going unmet
Identify your strengths and the unique characteristics that make you special
imagine if you could…
Take off the mask and be the real you
You live life on your terms instead of trying to fit yourself into someone else’s box. Shame, guilt, and remorse don’t beat you down as you can accept the choices you made. You know these choices were the best ones for your life and what you could do at the time. You’re committed to the now, not the what ifs.
Talk to yourself compassionately, like you would a friend
You know that everyone needs help and asking for it is a strength. You may be incredible but you are not the Greek god Atlas who is forced to bear the weight of the world on your own. Everyone struggles and it’s ok, just do the best you can.
Feel connected to others and your surroundings
You’re able to break free of the black and white movie and see things in full color. Happiness, love, belonging, and peace greet you once again. Life feels invigorating and full of possibilities.
I want you to know:
Change is possible.
Let’s work together, so you can live life to the fullest and embrace the positives

Together in sessions we use a variety of holistic tools and techniques that will go beyond trying to minimize symptoms and talking about your struggles. In therapy, we will examine what is important to you, what you value, and what isn’t flowing right. Triggers that may worsen or improve your depression will be identified and we will incorporate this knowledge into your action plan. We will practice challenging defeating thoughts and practice self-compassion. Other items on the action plan might also include rewarding yourself for your progress, practicing self-care, and creating more meaningful relationships.

Sadness is an emotion that everyone experiences, this emotion is temporary and not all consuming. Depression on the other hand can linger, lasting days, months, even years. Due to the short time span, one experiences sadness, it often does not take charge of our life like depression does. Depression can cause you to feel like you exist in a vacuum, it takes away your joy, motivation, and ability to do things you want to. It can cause you to feel apathetic, feel helpless, and hopeless. Ultimately depression is like the monster that lives under your bed, lurking and always there while sadness is like the time someone said something mean to you. Both can occur at the same time, but depression is more long-term and has a bigger impact.
