The individuals who seek support through my practice often feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, or emotional overwhelm. Some struggle with regulating emotions or healing from past experiences, while others face challenges in relationships, parenting, or adjusting to the ebb and flow of life. Youth often need support in processing their feelings, and their caregivers seek to strengthen their connection and build a deeper understanding of their child's needs and behaviors. No matter the challenge, all are looking for a safe, supportive space to explore their experiences, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

I believe that everyone, despite what label or diagnoses we have, deserves to be treated with fairness and empathy. We are not our past. I find great opportunity in challenging situations. My philsophy is that we are all doing the best we can based on our level of awareness. Every single being can work to expand on this. I see my role as working with you to shine a light on blind spots, thereby increasing this awareness. By doing so, we can address behavior and thought patterns which may have caused disruption in your life. Let's work to understand these parts of Self a little more.

Most of my work is with sensitive, creative people - artists, writers, healers, entrepreneurs - who find themselves stuck in patterns of self-doubt, self-sabotage, paralysis, perfectionism, anxiety, or depression.
I have over twenty years of experience in integrative mental health with a background in different forms of psychotherapy (depth work, somatics, and systems perspectives) as well as traditional and functional medicines. (I am also an acupuncturist.) My approach is relational, non-pathologizing, radically holistic, and tailored to each person's unique needs.

It is a nightmare: you don’t want to sleep, nor do you want to wake up. You go through the day feeling numb, empty and hopeless. Your world has turned upside down! Losing a loved one or hearing the words “you have a life-threatening illness” makes you want to scream, run away or curl up into a ball. “How can this be happening to me” You yearn for the world you once knew, one that was predictable, familiar and comfortable. You want to embrace the day, not dread it. Is it ever going to be possible to laugh, smile and be you again?

I offer a trauma-informed, evidenced-based approach in my collaborative work with individual adults. I include optional expressive arts in session as a way to enhance dialectical and cognitive-behavioral interventions. Expressive arts therapy is an integrative approach that uses visual arts, movement, music, psychodrama, and writing to promote emotional, physical, and neurological well-being. It catalyzes healing by engaging all senses to access self-understanding, transform trauma and communicate complex feelings that verbal talk therapy may not reach. I value research-based methods and client feedback in the therapeutic process

Depression Therapists
What is the goal of therapy for depression?
Therapy for depression has several major goals. One is to relieve the mental pain of depression, which distorts feeling and thinking so that sufferers cannot see beyond their current state of mind or envision feeling better. Another is to give people the mental tools to recognize and correct the kinds of distorted thinking that turn a problem into a catastrophe and lead to despair. Therapy also teaches people how to process negative emotions in constructive ways, so they have more control over their own emotional reactivity. And it helps people regain the ability to see themselves positively, the motivation to do things, and the capacity for pleasure.

What happens in therapy for depression?
Perhaps most important, no matter the type of therapy, patients form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Patients learn to identify and to challenge their own erroneous beliefs and thoughts that amplify the effects of negative experiences. They learn to identify situations in which they are especially vulnerable. And they learn new patterns of thinking and behaving. They may be given “homework” assignments in which they practice their developing skills. In addition, good therapists regularly monitor patients to assess whether and how much the condition is improving.

What therapy types help with depression?
Several types of short-term therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients challenge their negative thoughts and beliefs, learn new behavioral strategies, and curb reactivity to distressing situations. Behavioral activation (BA) is a form of therapy often used in conjunction with CBT; it focuses on engagement in rewarding activity as a pathway to changing negative feelings and disturbed mood. Another widely used approach is interpersonal therapy (IPT), which targets the social difficulties that both give rise to and get exacerbated by depression. Therapists may combine approaches as needed.

Can therapy for depression be done online?
Studies have found that online therapy can be highly effective for treating depression, although it may be more challenging to build a good therapist-patient alliance on screen than in person—at least at first. However, online therapy can offer considerable advantages. Accessibility and convenience are tops among them. Some people actually find it easier to talk about problems online than in person. While online therapy typically limits visibility of facial expression and body gestures that give important nonverbal cues to a patient’s state of mind, it can give therapists a glimpse into a patient’s world and life, providing information that can be highly useful in guiding therapy.

How effective is therapy for depression?
Many studies show that therapy is highly effective provided that patients complete the prescribed course of therapy, commonly 16 to 20 sessions. Over the long term, it is more effective than medication and the effects are more enduring. As a result, psychotherapy has the power not just to relieve current suffering but to prevent future episodes of the disorder. Therapy reverses the dysfunction in neural circuitry that disposes individuals to a negative view of themselves, the world, and their future and they acquire coping techniques, problem-solving skills, and understanding of their own vulnerabilities that are useful over the course of a lifetime.
