In my psychotherapy practice, I support patients with chronic, mild, and severe depression by creating a compassionate and non-judgmental space. I use an integrative approach, combining cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based techniques to address negative thought patterns and behaviors.

In session, we challenge those thought processes and take baby steps towards leaving isolation, hopelessness, and helplessness.
