Therapy for Depression & Mood Problems

Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self? Maybe you're noticing you're more angry than usual or even feeling the opposite of depressed--overjoyed and so energetic that others can't keep up and you are making impulsive, destructive choices. 

If you're depressed, you might find these thoughts often entering your mind:

• I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
• I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
• I hate who I am these days.
• I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
• I feel gut-wrenching 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 are experiencing mania, you might notice changes to your normal behavior including:

• over-the-top elated or irritable mood for at least several days
• incredibly high energy despite not feeling a need to sleep
• engagement in very risky, impulsive behaviors such as excessive spending or promiscuity
• speaking so fast that others can't keep up
• having so many thoughts happening at once that you get overwhelmed

Some people go back and forth from periods in which they feel depressed to periods in which they feel incredibly irritable or on a high. Or your issue may just be that you find yourself angry much of the time or your anger causes serious complications in your life. Whatever your mood problem is, you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives. 

I understand the social stigmas that come with label of being depressed or manic, and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a very dark time in their lives. 

If you are hoping to finally lighten this load and feel like yourself again, don't hesitate to contact me today.
