True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! I provide therapy for children, adolescents, individuals, elders, couples, and families. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life difficulties. I provide a wide variety of evidence-based treatment approaches.

I believe in a holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions empowering a person or family towards mastering life to its fullest.

Depression can be very lonely, because even if you want to feel better and try to, you just can't. This can lead to feeling helpless and hopeless. Many factors both biological and environmental contribute to the onset of depression, and it is important to look at and address each element in conjunction with one another to experience long term relief. I am trained to view people holistically in order to provide help and hope to those struggling with depression.

Depression can like a heavy weight that cannot be lifted, and in our culture, we are always supposed to be "up", not "down", which can cause people to feel ashamed and embarrassed about how they feel. In order to help someone suffering from depression, I work with clients to help them understand and embrace their pain, so that they can live a more wholesome life.

Depression is not limited to the adult population. Children and teens battle with depression as well; however, the symptoms look different than adults. Depression effects how a child and teen feels, thinks and acts. Some common symptoms may be: * low- self esteem * irritability and anger * difficulties with relationships * sensitive to failure * crying more than usual and fearful I would like to help your child/ teen discover where the depression is coming from and provide your child/teen with the strategies and tools to reduce the intense feelings of hopelessness and loneliness.

Depression and/or anxiety can be debilitating and may lead you to a scary place . I use a variety of clinical interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) to overcome internal obstacles that may be getting in the way of enjoying life. Depression can keep a person stuck in the same place for years without any progress. Depression, if left untreated, may also become a thought disorder and that can be addictive.
