Many people experience one or more intervals in their life when they feel persistently low, usually sad and/or disinterested in life. This could be accompanied by:

• Changes in appetite and/or fluctuations in weight

• Changes in sleep patterns

• Frequent fatigue

• Feeling worthless, guilty, and/or hopeless

• Difficulty concentrating and completing tasks

• Physical sluggishness or restlessness

• Increased thoughts of death and/or dying

These may be indicative of depression. Your collection of symptoms may constitute a clinical “disorder” to monitor long-term, or they may be situational. Regardless, what do you do when your emotional world becomes grayscale?

My therapeutic approach takes the stance that this occurs when something is missing in your life or isn’t going in the right direction for your values and goals. You may not consciously know when or where this shift began, but the depression is a sign that some part of you is working well enough to say, “we need to reroute.”

I want to work with you to reestablish stable patterns where needed (i.e., diet, sleep, work, social engagement) and then explore what that symptom-provoking voice within you already knows.
