Depression & Low Mood
Depression can show up in many ways—persistent sadness, irritability, loss of motivation, or feeling emotionally flat or easily overwhelmed.
My approach combines evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and acceptance with self-compassion and reflection to help you understand your emotions, steady your mood, and reconnect with meaning and purpose.
What I Treat
Clinical Depression
When sadness, emptiness, or loss of motivation linger and begin to affect daily life, it can feel like a heavy fog that’s hard to lift. In our work together, we’ll use evidence-based tools and reflective insight to help you find clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Grief, Loss & Adjustment to Life Changes
Loss and major life changes—whether expected or not—can stir deep sadness, confusion, or emptiness. I help you navigate these transitions with compassion and grounding, using a balance of reflection and practical coping tools to help you adapt and heal over time.
Persistent Low Mood
Sometimes you don’t feel deeply depressed, just flat, unmotivated, or disconnected from joy. Through a mix of mindful awareness and practical strategies, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and help you reconnect with a sense of vitality and meaning.
Low Self-Worth and Confidence
Feeling not good enough or overly self-critical can color the way you see yourself and the world. Our work focuses on strengthening self-understanding, quieting harsh inner narratives, and building a steadier, more compassionate sense of self.
Postpartum Depression
After the birth of a baby, emotions can shift in unexpected and painful ways. Together, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space to process what you’re feeling, ease guilt and overwhelm, and support your emotional recovery and confidence as a parent.
Moodiness, Irritability, and Emotional Reactivity
If you’ve felt more reactive, tense, or emotionally on edge, it may be your body’s way of signaling stress or hormonal change. We’ll identify what’s fueling those shifts and use mindfulness-based and cognitive strategies to help you feel more balanced and in control.
