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 strive to provide a collaborative, healing space for clients who have shared that they have been misunderstood, oppressed, or let down by important people in their lives. You deserve to have support, and to have someone who will listen to you, respect your autonomy, and prioritize your needs. I have helped many motivated individuals and couples improve their vulnerability in communication, reduce their experience of anxiety and depression, and work towards more open sexual expression.
