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!

Haunting memories, anxiety, sleep problems, or depression are limiting your life in a way you can no longer compromise? Whether the distant past or recent personal/professional painful experiences - they just can't quit you. The unique challenges of those who work in mental health, veterinary, medical, and frontline fields can make cultivating mental health important and complicated. It's hard to seek help when you are the helper... Is the need to do it all yourself prolonging your suffering?

When you're feeling disconnected from your partner or grappling with past trauma, you might notice a heaviness in your chest, like an invisible weight pressing down on you. Your thoughts might race, replaying painful memories or questioning your worthiness of love. Emotionally, you could feel numb, as if you're watching life from a distance, unable to fully engage. Sleep might elude you, leaving you tired and irritable. Each interaction feels like navigating a minefield of triggers, fearing any

I do my best work with people 18 and older trying to improve the most important relationships there are--the ones with themselves and their romantic partners. This often looks like anxiety and depression individually, and feeling unable to communicate effectively in intimate relationships. I love using a mind/body/spirit approach to those open to it, always with the goal of helping people feel more confident, better able to set boundaries, and be more at peace in their own skin and homes.
