Depression is a mental health problem that affects the way you think, the way you act, and the way you feel. Depression feels lonely even when you are not alone. I can help you navigate through the darkness to see the light again so that you don't have to do this alone.

Anxiety holds you back from living in the moment. Anxiety makes you think about the future and acts from a place of fear. I can help you learn more about your anxiety so that you can reach a sense of calmness and peace in your life.

Past trauma activates negative memories and symptoms that are treatable. These symptoms indicate that your body has not been able to process the trauma effectively and I can help you reach that by using EMDR therapy. EMDR is a type of therapy that helps you let go of past trauma and past hurts so that you don't have to continue suffering - so that you can develop trusting relationships again.

This treatment allows you to change your patterns of thinking. I can help you gain awareness around your distorted thoughts that create problems in your relationships and your life. The strategies in this treatment will help you learn about where these distortions stem from and most importantly how you can change them by taking a look at your present life, your behaviors, your reality based on present facts.

This treatment helps you better manage your emotions by finding ways to accept yourself and feel safe. If you struggle with potentially self destructive or harmful behaviors, these skills can help you better manage your mood. Research shows that this treatment helps treat people with depression, eating disorders, mood disorders, PTSD, and substance abuse.
