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!

I believe that my clients are the expert in their lives while recognizing that counseling can be scary. I believe in creating a space with mutual trust and respect that can allow for deep wounds to be healed. I prefer to work collaboratively with my clients, taking a person-centered approach that allows my clients to receive specialized care unique to their own personal needs. I have found that I work best with persons who are motivated to self-explore, seeking healing shifts in their lives.

I am passionate about bringing hope into the lives of those with mental health issues and distress in their relationships. Whether a life transition has you feeling anxious and unsteady, or relationship problems are all consuming, I am committed to creating a safe space for individuals and couples to process and explore thoughts, emotions, and wounds. It is possible to reframe and rewrite the stories that become our reality, and I am here to help with that revision process.

Are you feeling like life is too difficult? Are you overwhelmed at the thought of continuing with how things are? If so, we may be a good fit to work together. I provide support for children, adolescents, their families, and individual adults experiencing suicidal thoughts, depression, and behavioral challenges. I help my clients navigate the shame and overwhelm they are experiencing and help lead them to self-compassion and understanding of the 'why' behind their feelings and behaviors.
My clients often have experienced complex trauma. I enjoy working with folks who have experienced trauma because it is incredible to see the healing, change, and growth that occurs in therapy for my clients. I feel honored to be a part of that process in an open, non-judgmental way.

I am passionate about my work with teenagers, young adults, and older adults who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties. Most frequently, I work with clients struggling with anxiety and/or depression, as well as individuals yearning for change, managing life transitions, dealing with relationship challenges, or looking for coping skills to better handle stress. I also have experience working with clients processing trauma and moving towards safety and stabilization.
