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!

Feeling overwhelmed, like you can’t slow down, or maybe ‘stuck’? You’re not alone. Finding the right therapeutic support for you is a great next step. I’m here to help you to reconnect with yourself, & rediscover your unique ways of moving through the world. I utilize trauma-informed practices (actually!), somatic awareness, mindfulness, and creative expression to create a collaborative space where you feel seen, respected, and empowered to grow.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

You advocate for others. Who advocates for you? Equality, racial justice, the environment, peacemaking -- if you are working for any of these and you want more peace and understanding for yourself, then I want to help. I want to help you have peace with yourself and harmony and influence with others in your life, including family, friends, lovers, difficult comrades, and even those who might seem like adversaries.

Ideal client is the one who thinks there is no hope and that they cannot rise above their trauma. I appreciate the challenge because it makes their victory that much sweeter. To watch a client have a breakthrough is rewarding to the say the least. Watching the entire family heal is one of the best things that could happen and to see relationships mend is truly something I cannot express in words.
Asking for help and letting someone in can be difficult and even intimidating. You may be looking for someone who can help you reach your mental health goals while also meeting you where you are in your life & mental health journey. I aim to create a space of comfort, safety, & trust in which clients can heal, progress, & develop self-compassion. I work with adults of all ages, across various cultures, ethnicities, religions, romantic/sexual relationship styles, and sexual & gender identities.

I work with individuals and couples. I support folks who are recovering from trauma (including relational, institutional, spiritual and religious trauma), repairing attachment wounds, navigating relationships, and experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. Therapy will look different for everyone. My goal in our work together is to centralize your individual goals, stay guided by your values, empower your agency, and collaborate in defining what the therapeutic process is for you.
