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!
I offer a supportive and nonjudgemental environment for clients to get to know themselves on a deeper level through creative expression. In sessions you will use art and other creative processes to explore new ways of problem solving, building self-esteem, processing trauma or grief, managing stress, or working through feelings of depression. Your immediate needs will determine the work we do and I will partner with you to help get you closer to your wellness goals.

My approach to therapy is relational - I help you to uncover your innate strengths and resources and to become more connected and authentic in your relationship to yourself and others. Most clients I work with have trauma in their childhoods, which includes childhood emotional neglect. I also love working with therapists (and other healers) who are looking for their own personal therapy. Taking the first step to reach out to a therapist can feel daunting, and I commend you for your courage.

Do you struggle with a mind that does not turn off? Do you overanalyze yourself and others? Do you have a critical inner voice?

Even on a good day, when everything is going well, you still have those feelings: not understanding why you keep doing the things that you do, not recognizing the person you have become. On the outside you seem like you have your life put together, but on the inside, you are overwhelmed with unhappiness...and the feelings have become too strong to ignore. You're tired of feeling "stuck" in your life or that you’re “broken” or unworthy of love. You don’t have to continue to suffer.

Does daily life feel harder than it should be? Feelings like anxiety, sadness, emptiness, and pain begin to feel like a part of you and you may start to question if they will always weigh you down.
