Do you feel like you are  literally dragging yourself through your days?  Not able to sleep at night, or feel like sleeping all the time?  Don't have enthusiasm or energy for life?  Food tastes like cardboard, or you can't stop eating?  Do you feel like crying a lot?  Nothing feels like fun?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may well be suffering from clinical depression.

Clinical depression is a medical condition.  It isn't all in your head, and you don't have to just tough it out.  You can get help.

My job as a therapist is to help you recover from depression.   I  will begin by listening carefully to the things you say. I will also listen for the things that you can't bring yourself to say. I will offer insights to help you see the things that you are not aware of. Often, just having someone who can listen and understand will be enough to help you to feel a lot better in a short time.

If your depression is more long standing, or if you don't start feeling better fairly quickly, we will probably need to work a little harder. We can use  movement and body awareness techniques to get to the bottom of things.  I can also help you figure out what changes you need to make to resolve issues that are causing you to be depressed. I will provide direction and support for you as you work to make those changes.

When depression is severe, a combination of medication and psychotherapy may be necessary.   I can help you work with your doctor or psychiatrist to figure out if medication is what you need.

With determination, courage and the right kind of help, there is hope.  Call me if you want more information.
