My approach to depression begins with creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood without judgment. I use a person-centered approach along with evidence-based strategies from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapy to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing healthy coping skills. Together, we identify what may be contributing to feelings of sadness, disconnection, low motivation, or hopelessness and work toward meaningful, manageable changes. Progress looks different for everyone. It may include feeling more connected to yourself and others, developing healthier ways to manage difficult emotions, rebuilding self-esteem, becoming more engaged in activities that matter to you, or simply feeling less alone. I believe progress happens at your pace, and I will support and encourage you throughout the process.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping you develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than allowing them to control your life. Through ACT, we explore what matters most to you, practice accepting experiences that cannot always be changed, and develop skills to respond to challenges in ways that align with your values. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your individual needs. We may explore patterns that are holding you back, practice mindfulness and acceptance exercises, identify your personal values, and set realistic goals that support meaningful change. My goal is to help you build greater flexibility, self-awareness, and confidence while taking steps toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
