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 clients are looking to make specific changes in their lives and want an interactive therapist to help provide insight, as well as specific tools and strategies for coping and, ideally, transformation. I frequently work with people around boundaries, trauma, anxiety and depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and issues related to chronic pain and illness.

I have a special passion for working with artists and creative professionals as they wrestle with fears, fantasies, depressions, manias, and all the challenges not only of making art but of making a living through art. I also love working with adolescents — how I wish I'd had a therapist when I was in high school! — as well as folks working through addiction and recovery. I also work with couples of all stripes and with patients who are, like me, part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

My clients are from many walks of life. I provide group art therapy sessions to refugees and their families.

I work with children and families who are hospitalized, recently returned from the hospital, or are managing a life threatening illness. I identify as LGBTQ, and many of my clients identify as LGBTQAII+

Often, our past relationships leave us wounded. The story that we tell ourselves becomes permeated with negative thoughts, low self-worth, and shame. As these feelings manifest, we become anxious and depressed. We might experience isolation, loneliness, and a loss of connection to others and to ourselves. Therapy can help us discover perspectives that create a new narrative, one in which we have different ways to manage our emotions and lead a more enjoyable life.
I bring a comprehensive, holistic approach my clients' healing, integrating all domains of life - from relationship, to spirituality, to work, and beyond. I draw on my own experience of healing in these areas to support your well-being.

I invite individual adults and couples to explore your struggles and the unhealthy patterns that keep you mired in feelings of sadness, anxiety, or simply with a sense that your life is not quite how you wish it to be. Maybe you've tried to work out the problems yourself and keep circling back to square one. Maybe you've hit a brick wall. Maybe you don't even know where to begin. Together, we'll uncover the power of change that lives inside you.
Are you constantly feeling self-defeated? Do you feel like what other people want from you is more important than what you want from yourself? Are you unhappy and resentful because you try so hard to please everyone else? Is it a real struggle for you to be vulnerable in your relationships with others? You are not alone. Many of my clients struggle with the same issues! You are here because you have made a powerful choice —to put yourself first.

My clients are very hard working, have a long track record of success, and care deeply about their work, friends, and family. Even so, life can be challenging. Many of my clients had a bad day and are still emotionally beating themselves up for minor mistakes. They constantly replay what they should have done differently sometimes for days and weeks at a time. They become frustrated they cannot let go of this self-criticalness and even have thoughts they are not good enough or are a fraud.
