Depression
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
As a licensed clinical psychologist for 20+ years, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I work hard to establish and maintain a relationship based on mutual trust and honesty. We can work together to help you feel less stuck, and more in control.

Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It's important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.

Depression
Psychologist, PhD
I believe in a comprehensive approach to the treatment of depression that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral activation, and value-concordant living. When appropriate and needed, I consider lifestyle and interpersonal factors that are perpetuating mood issues for my clients and work with them to make steps toward taking bold action. Additionally, when appropriate, I like to collaborate with other members of an individual's care team, such as psychiatrists and primary care providers, and help individuals to reconnect to those around them, building up their level of social support and connectedness.
