My approach centers on compassionate, faith-informed counseling that honors each person's unique journey and spiritual background. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenging experiences, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and significant life transitions. With a deep understanding of how stress and emotional pain intersect, I offer a supportive environment where individuals can explore their feelings, develop resilient coping strategies, and rediscover inner strength.

I strive to help you grow where you are planted. I also work with couples and family groups to guide them through difficult times and relationship struggles as well as individuals who have endured trauma or abuse helping them to cope with pain, hurt, and PTSD. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have an extensive realm of experiences and tools for coping with and understanding real life struggles. There is help and hope for you.

Depression
Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."
Some common symptoms of depression include:
We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.
Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.
Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.
