Depression
The struggle is now overwhelming.
The low energy… the stress… it’s been chipping away at you for WAY too long.
Can you even remember the last time you woke up excited – inspired to face the day?
You want to believe that things can get better – that there’s a light at the end of this tunnel. But right now, all you see is darkness.
And you’re tired.
Tired of fighting…
Tired of hoping…
Tired of being disappointed…
You don’t know how much longer you can keep going like this, but you have to hold on to the small hope that someday – somehow – things will change.
It’s not like you haven’t tried…
Improving your diet…
Yoga and meditation…
Medication…
You may have even tried traditional therapy…
But somehow, despite the pills and the talking and the mindfulness, nothing’s really worked.
You don’t want to just “manage symptoms”; you want to feel fully ALIVE!
It’s time to go deeper.
Let’s go beyond Band-Aid solutions and go straight to the roots of your challenges.
It’s time to stop addressing symptoms and start addressing the REAL problem that frequently lies beneath depression: trauma.
Trauma can be the silent puppeteer behind your emotions, pulling strings from the shadows.
Our work together is about bringing that puppeteer into the light so you can reassume control over your life.
A different perspective…
We’ll start by deepening your understanding of how depression works in your life. In many cases, depression can have a positive and protective nature. Yes, you heard that right: depression can be an ally, protecting you from overwhelming pain or trauma.
When your mind and body are faced with experiences or emotions that are too intense to process, depression can step in as a coping mechanism. It dulls your emotional responses, providing a buffer against feelings that might otherwise be too painful or overwhelming to endure. It’s your mind’s way of saying, “I need to slow down and protect myself.”
Understanding this protective role can help you see depression as a signal that deeper issues need to be addressed – rather than an “enemy” to be defeated.
Once we shift your relationship with depression, we’ll go to its roots and heal the pain triggering it. Using a holistic approach rooted in somatic (body-based) modalities, I’ll help you release the trauma stored in your mind and body. And once we start healing the trauma – once we start bringing that puppeteer into the light – I’ll give you coping strategies and self-care practices to promote your well-being.
Healing won’t happen overnight. It’s a gradual, gentle process of safely peeling away layers constraining your vitality.
You can safely find long-lasting relief from depression.
This work is experiential rather than intellectual. You cannot heal by reading this or “thinking your way out of it.” You need to have an experience of it.
That’s where I come in. Let me help you take that weight off – once and for good.
