Are you struggling with depression? Depression is a common mood disorder that negatively impacts how you feel and think. I am specialized in treating depression and I use integrated modalities, such as CBT, mindfulness, and expressive therapy to help clients with long-standing depression. I am confident to support you the way you want and bring happiness back to your life!
In my role as a therapist, addressing depression is a profound and compassionate process. Through empathetic listening and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to unravel the layers of their emotions and navigate the path toward healing. By fostering a safe space for exploration and implementing personalized strategies, my aim is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives and rediscover the joy that depression may have obscured.
You don't need to stay stuck in the pit of depression! I have had extensive training and years of experience helping clients deal with depression. I can help you learn different ways to think and look at life and help you release unproductive ways of coping that keep you feeling. You can get past feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness and feel better about yourself and your life. I can help you release past memories that still may affect you, and give you energy and hope for the present and future.
For 50 years I have worked with clients who are depressed as individuals, in couples and in families and in groups. Some of my clients are on medication and being treated by psychiatrists as well. I offer free zoom seminars, which promote a positive view of life and help with issues involving stress, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and relationships.

Stress can take a physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional toll on you. I work to increase your sense of functioning, well-being and reduce symptoms.
In my therapy practice, I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address depression by helping clients develop effective coping skills and improve emotion regulation. Through individualized treatment plans, I integrate DBT techniques such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and cognitive restructuring to empower clients in managing depressive symptoms. By fostering self-awareness and teaching practical strategies, I support clients in creating a more balanced and fulfilling life, reducing the impact of depression on their daily functioning.
Depression is one of the most common mental health issues, and fortunately, there are effective treatment options for it. I specialize in numerous treatment approaches for depression, including two evidence-based treatments (cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy). Together, we will determine which treatment option might be best for you, and we will focus on helping you get back to feeling more like yourself.
