When working with clients experiencing depression, I focus on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can show up exactly as you are. Together, we’ll explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of your experience, identifying patterns and barriers that may be keeping you stuck. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT to help build coping skills, shift negative thought patterns, and reconnect you to joy, purpose, and a renewed sense of self. You don’t have to face this alone.

Depression comes from emotions that are stuck in the system and haven't been given the freedom to move; often anger and sadness. The key to working with depression is to get to the root of the stuck energy and emotions and give them the space to be felt and expressed. Depression is a signal that something in your life is not functioning in a way that supports your well-being. I'm here to support you in getting to the root of the depression in a compassionate, kind way that supports you being with yourself and moving forward with your life.
