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!

Clients who are drawn to my practice include people who are brand new to therapy and those who have tried traditional approaches and are interested in a somatically-integrative, holistic, mind-body approach. This includes people who are grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, co-occurring mental and physical health symptoms, life transitions (e.g., transition to parenting, job or relationship), spiritual questions, and integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness.

You may feel out of place or struggle to trust your worth, carrying the weight of oppression, trauma, or the pressure to fit into a world not built for you. You want to heal, feel at home in yourself, and build a life that feels authentic. I offer a space of care, empathy, and non-judgment. I love working with LGBTQ+ & BIPOC folks, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers, through a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming lens.

You are sitting in therapy watching your therapist tell you for the fourth time that her cousin is gay and just got a “very butch” haircut. He misgenders you, or forgets your partner’s pronouns, she pulls out Food and Mood, and he talks about how apple cider vinegar might be the solution to all your problems. She hasn't lived in a fat body. He hasn’t experienced homophobia or heterosexism. What initially seemed like a small hill to climb in your relationship has started to feel like a mountain

In my nearly 40 years of experience I learned everyone has story to tell of pleasures and pains. Anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women's issues, mother/daughter, aging/intergenerational family, inclusivity and diversity issues are just a few stories I've been told. I specialize in individual adults and/or couples to help them write the next chapter or rewrite the troubled one finding answers and strengths, new tools and skills that can lead to creating a more satisfying life.
