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!

The counseling process requires openness and vulnerability that can be overwhelming. Talking to someone new about your concerns, fears, or anxieties can be intimidating. Bearing your inner self is not easy and requires a strength you may not know you possess. My promises to you: I will never judge you or make you feel unheard. I will create an environment where you feel safe. You are a unique and beautiful being and stronger than you realize. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey.
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.

Currently, my practice focuses on anxiety, depression, relationships, school stress, trauma, disordered eating, and other health concerns (e.g., sleep problems, adjusting to medical diagnoses, etc.). I also have specialized training and experience in treating substance abuse. I see teens as well as adults.

Are you overwhelmed by negative or unhelpful thoughts and feelings? Is your mind racing and you can’t make it stop? Would it be nice to fall asleep at night with a clear mind? Do you experience trichotillomania or skin-picking? Insomnia? I can help. Change isn’t easy but it’s easier when you have someone to listen without judgement, notice your progress, and cheer you on in a safe, healing, and secular space. There is a more calm and higher functioning you on the other side of this.

Do you feel like you’re going through the motions? Do you appear to be doing well from the outside, but internally you feel overwhelmed, depressed, and disconnected from yourself and others? Do you feel like something has to change, but you aren't sure where to start? Do you numb your emotions with unhealthy behaviors or mindless distractions because it feels easier in the moment, and something about listening to yourself feels unnerving? If so, therapy can help, and I’d love to work with you.

Are you a creative professional who is burnt out, anxious or depressed, feeling blocked or insecure, and not sure how to navigate a path forward? When my clients first start therapy with me, they feel overwhelmed. They are talented, creative and perceptive, but they're running low on energy. Therapy helps them gain fresh perspectives and coping skills, achieve more balance and confidence, and move forward as their full, authentic selves. I have particular expertise treating OCD & phobias.

Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your relationship and worry that you’ll make the wrong decision? Have you had life changes that have been difficult to accept? Do you question if your anxiety will always impact your life? You’re not alone. While it can feel isolating, you’re not the only one experiencing anxiety and uncertainty. And, things can get better. I typically work with clients dealing with anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
