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 see life as a mosaic of experiences, and we all do the best we can with what we know at the time. But sometimes, anxiety, depression or the simple challenges of daily life can hold people back from living the fullest, best story of their life. My goal as a therapist is to explore and bring to light a person’s inner strengths, so they can overcome their personal obstacles and enjoy better, more productive lives and relationships.

I have worked with a wide range of clients including caregivers, healthcare workers, artists and business professionals. I enjoy working with adult clients looking for help with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss (including pet loss), life stressors and transitions. I am sex-positive, poly & kink-friendly and I'm committed to providing gender-affirming care and support to the LGBTQI+ community.
An ideal client of mine would be motivated and ready to do the meaningful, rewarding work of self-reflection and growth. Beyond that I find myself drawn to working with professionals from all walks of life, including fellow veterans, women, and LGBTQ+ community members. I also enjoy working with families navigating the complexities of having children on the wide spectrum of neurodiversity, including ADHD, ASD, PDA, and ODD

Clients often come to me wanting support in managing the overwhelm in their lives. We live in such a fast-paced, over-stimulating and often judgmental world, and I provide a safe haven for clients to explore who they truly are. This enables them to make day to day choices that help them show up as themselves in their lives, and take control of their futures. I especially work well with clients with anxiety disorders, borderline personality and depression.
