I use primarily a CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) approach to help individuals identify their maladaptive thought and behavioral patterns as well as their strengths and support systems. We focus on techniques to help anticipate mood shifts, incorporate cognitive and behavioral techniques to intervene in specific manifestations of depression, and generate new and more adaptive cognitive and behavioral patterns. Treatment is individualized and at your pace.

Isolation feeds depression and then also becomes a breeding ground for negative thought patterns. In session, we challenge those thought processes and take baby steps towards leaving isolation, hopelessness, and helplessness. As your therapist, we do not want you to be alone; we will work to develop skills and techniques that benefit you and that challenge the fog that you may feel that you are stuck in. These skills and techniques are practiced in session and often suggested that it be continued to be practiced outside of session. Then, we regroup, process, and re-strategize as needed.

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. My goal is to help patients develop coping strategies, build resilience, and find a renewed sense of purpose and hope, ultimately improving their overall well-being and quality of life.
