Is Depression Holding You Back?

Has depression kept you from engaging in and enjoying life the way you want? Do you often feel discouraged, disappointed, or even hopeless about your future? You’re not alone in these feelings, and you don’t have to face them by yourself. Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming, and it can drain you of the energy and focus needed to make meaningful changes in your life.

  • She is an amazing listener and her approach is gentle, but at the same time very powerful

    I have coached with Amy for several years.  She helps me sift through my inner muck of thoughts and keeps me accountable to myself.  Through her guidance, I've been able to work through "my stuff" and attain the goals that I have been wanting to achieve for years but could not reach on my own. She is an amazing listener and her approach is gentle, but at the same time very powerful because she asks the right questions -- the questions that get me to face the truth of the situation, and that motivate me to help myself.  I highly recommend her!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Coaching is new approach to solving life’s challenges. Coaches ask questions and assist clients in breaking down challenges and issues into practical, achievable steps. Coaching helps one identify and understand obstacles that get in the way of achieving their goals. Coaching provides clients with customized tools and teaches them new skills that support them in making changes now and in the future. A client achieves more, in a shorter period of time, through effective coaching because the coach gives a client personalized guidance, tools and support that works for them.

  • Including Somatic Work in my coaching practice is crucial because it addresses the challenges that arise when depression or anxiety make long-term change feel impossible. As a Somatic Embodiment Practitioner, I help clients develop personalized techniques to calm their bodies during intense emotions and discomfort, enabling them to access choice and take effective action. This approach transforms overwhelming situations into manageable and achievable steps, making lasting change more attainable.

  • Recovery from Depression is an individual journey; no two people’s experiences will look exactly alike. Many people find therapy helpful for finding relief from their symptoms, yet for others coaching techniques may be more supportive. For example, if you have depressive symptoms, you may find yourself feeling exhausted, discouraged or uninterested. Meeting regularly with a coach can offer a regular dose of support, guidance and encouragement. Some people find it helpful to talk with both a therapist and a coach since they help in different ways. People transitioning out of therapy also find coaching to be supportive because it helps them determine what to do next. If you are unsure which approach to take, feel free to contact me now and I will help you understand what support I offer and whether that meets your current needs and/or goals.
