Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!
When we feel most overwhelmed and stressed, we often find it difficult to prioritize what we value most. Our interests, our commitments, and the relationships most important to us often suffer when we are struggling. Therapy can offer us a space to reconnect with ourselves, and find a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move closer to the people and areas of our lives we want. Therapy can help us enjoy life again the way we once used to.

Do you notice repetitive patterns of thoughts, feelings, or actions in your life that cause distress? Does your "best you" feel fleetingly accessible, if at all? My only request of clients who work with me is that they continually invest in understanding themselves better and extending curiosity to their innermost parts. Together, we'll collaborate with curiosity and compassion to investigate and appreciate the challenges, insights, and triumphs of your ongoing story.

Therapy can be helpful as you navigate life’s everyday stressors, a difficult part of your history, past or ongoing trauma, or any feelings or circumstances that cause you pain or suffering. Therapy can also help you learn self-trust, build loving relationships, find ease in your mind and body, and move towards a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

My emphases are addressing mental health of marginalized groups, and understanding how culture should be respected and acknowledged in the therapeutic space. As I continue to work on obtaining my doctorate in psychology, my interventions and approach to treatment informs me how to customize the therapeutic space for each client and praise our differences while promoting inner healing. Creating emotional space and showing the power of it helps my clients narrate their lives once more.

Let's go on a journey of exploration together, where we can discover ways to create comfort, find stillness, overcome challenges, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. My practice focuses on working with those who may be navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship issues, codependency, or self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I’m here to help you uncover insights and develop strategies that align with your goals.

I am passionate about working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and gender-expansive clients. If you are seeking a place to work through depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, body image issues, or general "stuckness," I am here to provide a safe, judgment-free environment for you to explore your capacity for healing and growth.

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed, as if you're pouring from an empty cup with a full plate to navigate? Do past experiences come to mind intrusively, causing you to feel dysregulated and making it difficult to trust others? Or maybe you're going through a transitional period and are realizing the tools that once served you are no longer for your benefit. You are not alone. You deserve to have a space where you are in control to process and allow the answers within to surface and guide you.

As I mentioned in my intro, I like to work in a partnership with my client. You are the expert of you and I am on your journey with you to get to your chosen direction. I have experience working with people of many different backgrounds (socioeconomic, race, gender). I very much look forward to meeting you, learning from you (remember, you are the expert of you), and our working together to help you go where you want to go.
I enjoy working with creatives, spiritual seekers and the spiritually-wounded, those struggling with grief and loss, other therapists, people coping with C-PTSD, and those who simply want to become more of who they are meant to be. My clients tend to be open to approaching therapy more experientially and are interested in doing depth work vs. single-issue work.

Imagine having a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I’m passionate about supporting women—especially Black and Brown women—who feel overwhelmed by stress, weighed down by self-doubt, navigating trauma, or stuck in difficult relationships. If you’re carrying the heavy burden of expectations, past pain, or the pressure to always be strong, this is a space where you can finally set it down and focus on healing.

I work with clients from college age and onward that are dealing with issues of sexuality and gender identity. I also work with clients dealing with religious trauma and/or investigating their own relationship with spirituality of all flavors. My style involves looking through the past to see how the narratives we tell ourselves affect our current lives.
