CLINICAL DEPRESSION

Depression may be your life at this time BUT it does not have to be your way of life. Depression affects millions of people in this country. It is always troubling and for some people it can be disabling. Depression is more than just sadness or “the blues.” It can have an impact on nearly every aspect of a person’s life. People who suffer from depression may experience despair and worthlessness and this can have an enormous impact on both personal and professional relationships. Because you have taken the first step by realizing that you have a problem and need help and because you will be putting a great deal of time, money and energy into therapy, you should choose a therapist carefully. I strongly believe you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose and hopefully about therapy. When you feel this way therapy is more likely to be very helpful to you.

My approach to helping people with their problems is an educational one which include tools and techniques. Anyone can learn to recognize negative choices and how to make more effective choices as they continue to adjust their interactions based on personal circumstances and interactions with individuals in their lives.
