“I'm a therapist committed to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My work centers on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and move toward greater self-compassion and healing. I bring a broad clinical perspective to my practice, with particular expertise in depression, anxiety, and stress management. I work with clients across the lifespan—from young adults navigating identity and relationships to older adults facing life transitions. My focus areas include trauma recovery, mood disorders, attachment concerns, family dynamics, grief, body image, and relationship challenges including polyamory and alternative relationship structures. I'm experienced in supporting men's issues, military and veteran experiences, first responder challenges, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I also work with clients managing chronic pain, seasonal affective patterns, obsessive-compulsive concerns, phobias, and co-occurring challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and person-centered care. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and identity, and collaborating with you toward meaningful change at your own pace. Whether you're working through guilt and shame, control patterns, family-of-origin wounds, or building healthier relationships, I'm here to support your journey with authenticity and care.”

Depression
Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."
Some common symptoms of depression include:
We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.
Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.
Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.
