Depression Therapists in Maumee, OH

You are a woman who has been devastated by grief over pregnancy loss, infertility, or postpartum depression or anxiety. You desperately want to find someone to talk to about how alone and sad you feel. You feel heartbroken, ashamed, and angry lately. Your world has stopped while everyone else seems to be moving on without you. You find yourself having the same fights with your partner over and over again. Society glamorizes pregnancy and motherhood which can make you feel even more alone and misunderstood. If you see one more pregnancy announcement or social media post about the happiness of motherhood, you might lose it!

My therapy style is empathetic, insightful, reflective, humorous and goal-affirming. I have always had a "quirky" sense of humor and I love that I can bring that into session with me. Sometimes being able to laugh or to see the absurdity of life shakes loose the obstacles and anxiety. My initial goal is to connect with you and your experiences in your world, ask questions, provide feedback, and use interventions to rebuild and reinforce your sense of self and your place in the universe.

Trust and confidentiality in the counseling relationship provides a safe and private place to process what is going on in life and to move forward. It is challenging for anyone in these conditions to manage the demands of work, family, and life responsibilities. Stressors on the job and in relationships can significantly impact one’s physical and emotional health. Stress doesn’t go away, and conditions such as constantly being exposed to others' trauma can lead to anxiety and depression, among other unwanted responses.

I also integrate an eclectic approach to tailor to my clients needs.

"When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves", stated Viktor Frankl. Making changes can be difficult, yet when working in a supportive, compassionate, safe and relaxing environment that honors your individual needs, values, beliefs and goals, you can make the changes you desire to achieve for yourself. My passion is to help you heal through focusing on your whole self - my role is to help guide you in your own healing process.

Even when life feels like it should be going well, we can often feel like we wrestle with managing. The first step in this process is to notice when and where we are struggling. The second is to work towards making changes in our lives for the better. You don’t have to handle those situations on your own. My style is to incorporate a strengths-based approach while using a blend of techniques. I enjoy working alongside my clients to collaboratively create goals to help them tackle whatever life challenges they are facing and assist in their journey of creating a life they want.

Counseling helps people who have problems or concerns that they are not resolving to their satisfaction by themselves. The counselor can help to identify the problems and offer an environment in which to test new ideas and behavior safely. The goal of such counseling is to help clients deal more effectively with the people, situations, and issues they face.

My mission is to help others connect with, trust, and understand themselves, and as a result create deeper connections, trust, and understanding of others, which naturally creates a more fulfilling, peaceful life for each of my clients.

We all just want to feel comfortable in our own skin. We want to live our lives feeling inspired, happy, and purposeful. Somewhere along the way we may have sought out external things to achieve this goal: drugs, alcohol, relationships, jobs, social circles, money, status, etc. These things work for a little while…until they don’t. We finally get to a place where we realize we need help turning inward. We become willing to examine our trauma and core wounds and heal from what is in the way of us emerging into our fullest selves. This is where transformation begins.

As Rupi Kuar writes, “If you were born with the strength to fall, you were born with the strength to rise.” Often, we forget that phases are temporary when we are down. We all know where we “want” to be, and sometimes need an extra perspective into getting us there. Whether you are freshly beginning college, struggling to find a work/life balance, or experiencing burnout, working through stressors can be difficult to face alone. Practicing from a person-centered and holistic approach, I enjoy working alongside my clients to develop personalized goals to allow room for their growth and healing.
