Depression can result from unfinished business in the past, which seems to threaten current and future success. Sometimes we need someone to just listen to our experiences from our vantage point, without being too eager to fix the issue without first listening to the experience. Catharsis is a powerful tool when employed correctly.
As someone who was diagnosed with depression early on in life, I know how debilitating it can be. The world feels gray, everything seems purposeless and you have little to no energy to do anything. As someone who is successfully managing his depression, I know first hand the tools and modalities that can help bring joy and color back into your life. You may have depression, but it doesn't have to define you. In fact, you can use it as a springboard to get back into life and restore meaning and purpose.
I have over 15 years experience supporting clients from a holistic and integrative framework focused on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I work with my clients as a guide and a teacher to help facilitate change and the ability to cope with the many life stressors and challenges that we all face such as work-life balance, parenting, depression, anxiety, anger management, multicultural and diversity needs, skill development, and more. I am here as a resource for you to ensure you have the care and services that you need!
I approach depression with a compassionate and comprehensive perspective, recognizing its multifaceted nature and the diverse factors contributing to its onset and maintenance. I work collaboratively with clients to explore and address underlying thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional experiences associated with depression. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to cultivate resilience, develop coping skills, and regain a sense of control over their lives. Together, we navigate through the challenges of depression, fostering self-discovery, growth, and ultimately, a renewed sense of hope.
If you are feeling immense sadness and cannot seem to be able to shake off the feeling, I am here to support you make sense of your emotions and figure out healthy coping skills to live a productive more enjoyable life.

Depression and anxiety also share an essential psychological component — namely, pushing people away from living in the present moment. Individuals with anxiety are continuously worried about the future, while people with depression are often focused on what has happened in the past.
