Are you feeling hopeless, isolated, and/or not your usual self? Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
- I feel sad for no reason and can’t do anything about it.
- I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
- I have no motivation or energy to do anything.
- I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
- I feel gut-wrenching emotional pain, but no one understands.
- My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts, chances are you may be suffering from depression. I want you to know that you are not alone and I can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are options available to once again have hope for their lives.
I understand the social stigmas that can come with the label of being depressed, and thus aim to help clients sort out related environmental, biological, and circumstantial factors, while offering support and care through a dark time in their lives.
