Depression can steal precious moments, hours, days and years from your life. With Behavioral Activation we begin the process of learning new skills, uncovering the beliefs that perpetuate depression, learn how to take care of our bodies and minds, and regulate the emotions that want to keep us stuck. BA, CBT, DBT and IPT are the modalities I use with Depression.

People wake up from the codependent fog and feel free and deathly afraid all at once. All of the ways they have learned how to relate to others are crumbling and they need to learn new ways of identifying their own needs, communicating, and setting boundaries- all things they have never had the skills to do- so it is scary. But, I walk my clients through these things, one step at a time and they come out the other side, free and fearless to be the person they were always meant to be.

Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is talk therapy designed to help you improve your communication skills with your family, friends, and coworkers. IPT focuses on identifying more immediate causes of your mental health issues. This talk therapy can help address issues caused by recent changes in your life, such as losing a job, moving, or ending a relationship. By identifying what’s causing your mental health issues, we can help you develop new skills for handling your emotions that keep you stuck.

Closely related to CBT, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is talk therapy designed to help people who experience very intense emotions. There are four core principles that I teach during DBT: Emotion Regulation Mindfulness Distress Tolerance Interpersonal Effectiveness Using DBT, I help you find balance in accepting your life and behaviors while also providing you with the tools to make changes and address unhelpful behaviors.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common forms of talk therapy used to treat mental health disorders. CBT follows a set structure (unlike other forms of therapy) to help people become more in touch with their emotions and thoughts. CBT is based on several core principles, with a focus on addressing inaccurate or negative thoughts that you have about yourself and your environment.
