Mood Matters
When we are depressed everything can feel like a challenge. Depression negatively impacts the way we view ourselves and the world around us, we may feel stuck, powerless, or incapable of change.
Many types of therapies have been found to be effective for improving depressed mood and cultivating joy. I am trained in Cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and interpersonal approaches, all of which are evidence-based therapies for depression. We will collaboratively determine which approach is right for you. Throughout our work together we will examine the role thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and stressors have on our mood. We will explore which patterns are helpful, and which ones are keeping us stuck. I will also help you identify your deepest values and ensure the life you are living is aligned with how you want to feel and who you want to be. Together we will boost your self-confidence and your resilience so that you feel equipped to navigate future stress and come out stronger.
