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!

My approach is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts & feelings, I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a fulfilling life. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, stress, or gender and sexuality.

Have you had a traumatic experience that left you feeling disconnected and having a hard time trusting people, with the need to protect and numb yourself? If so, I may be able to help.

My typical clients seeking assessments are late-diagnosed adults who are on a quest for self-discovery within the realm of neurodivergence. Many have faced the frustration of previous misdiagnoses, while others carry a hunch based on their own research or discussions with peers. This diverse group consists of individuals who range from being comfortable with self-diagnosis to those who yearn for the validation and precision that a professional assessment can provide.

My clients are queer, non-traditional, and those who feel like misfits in mainstream spaces. They seek depth, self-awareness, and meaningful growth in their relationships and personal lives. Many navigate identity, unconventional partnerships, or breaking free from societal norms. I provide a space where they can explore without judgment, challenge limiting patterns, and build confidence in their authenticity. Together, we create new ways of relating, healing, and embracing their full selves.

Asking for help is one of the most challenging things to do for ourselves, but it is one of the best ways of self-investing. When we physically do not feel well, we reach out to our doctors or nurses for support because we think that is normal. When we do not feel well mentally, it can give us a sense of not feeling normal, and while everyone's story is different, it is the same because we all have one.

Mindfulness has the capacity to catalyze transformational change in a human being. I walk with my clients on this journey and provide the support and compassion they need to feel safe and process their trauma. Liberation from negative emotions and behavioral patterns is possible, let's realize it together. A good match between client and therapist is critical for all talk therapy. I offer free consultation to go over my process and to get to know each other so you can decide if we are a good fit

I love helping people look at old patterns of coping and interacting in the world, and seeing how those patterns influence their daily life. I work well with people who want to go under the surface of what's going on and look at what may be lurking underneath. This can understandably bring up some feelings of apprehension, and we will always go at a pace that feels right and safe for you. You're in the driver's seat, and I'm helping to navigate.

My clients are often women (but, not always) seeking clarity and support around their current life situations, changes and challenges - Maybe it's trying for or having a new child while balancing work, social and interpersonal relationships. Maybe it's processing loss/grief/change - including a influential person, a job, a move to a new city, a role in life (parenting). We can identify and practice shame resilience skills. We go through change all the time and you don't have to be alone with it.
