Sharing your depressive thoughts and feelings may be scary and overwhelming, so I am very happy that you have taken the brave first step of reaching out for help.  Seeking support can give you the chance to move past such feelings as hopelessness, helplessness, loneliness, guilt and/or inadequacy which all may be a part of feeling depressed.  I have worked alongside many other individuals who had felt low, stuck and unmotivated to support them in feeling better about themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives.  You can start to feel better too by working with me to identify and understand the thoughts, feelings and experiences which contribute to your depression and low self-esteem.  Together, we can work on figuring out what would make your life more meaningful according to your needs and values. I can also help you learn and acquire the necessary skills to make the changes that you want at your own pace.
