How do you work with clients with depression?
I can support clients dealing with depression through various means. This may involve offering psychoeducation on depression and its symptoms, as well as providing resources for self-help strategies. I can assist in developing coping skills, mindfulness techniques, and lifestyle adjustments that may contribute to improved mood. While not a replacement for therapy, these approaches can offer valuable support and empower individuals to take steps toward managing their depression. It's important to note that for more severe cases, professional therapy or counseling may be recommended for comprehensive care
I have 13 years of experience as a Family and Psychiatric Medical provider in various roles, serving as a private and state mental health hospital attending provider, outpatient provider, and telemedicine provider. As a retired Senior Army Officer with multiple tours of war, I've earned the Bronze Star Medical, along with 22 other medals, and have led entire hospital teams in treating serious mental illnesses from depression to schizophrenia. I am highly recommended as a provider who achieves the best results in treating children, adults, and elderly patients, according to nurses and physician leadership. I prioritize teamwork and tailor patient treatment based on individual needs and preferences, combining this approach with expert clinical knowledge to reach an agreed-upon solution. I treat every patient with utmost respect and care, avoiding the imposition of unwanted medications and allowing patients to choose the treatment they believe will work best for them. Additionally, I offer free 15-minute consults to assess each patient, ensuring a good fit between the patient and myself to meet their needs effectively. I am highly recommended and come with numerous endorsements, fostering an unbiased and non-judgmental environment that creates a lifelong bond between me and my patients.

How do you work with clients with depression?
Together in sessions we use a variety of holistic tools and techniques that will go beyond trying to minimize symptoms and talking about your struggles. In therapy, we will examine what is important to you, what you value, and what isn’t flowing right. Triggers that may worsen or improve your depression will be identified and we will incorporate this knowledge into your action plan. We will practice challenging defeating thoughts and practice self-compassion. Other items on the action plan might also include rewarding yourself for your progress, practicing self-care, and creating more meaningful relationships.
Like the name of my practice, I believe individuals are also capable of blooming throughout even the most difficult of circumstances. I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma. This can appear as feelings of guilt, feeling like you're dragging through life, future tripping, or thoughts taking up residence in your mind rent free. During our sessions together we will work towards achieving your goals. This process will allow you to decompress from life’s daily struggles while learning skills to find your peace and happiness. As a therapist it is my goal to help individuals have a better understanding of themselves, process past pain, and feel confident in moving through life.
