Therapy is about providing professional support to help you work through what blocks you from experiencing the freedom of emotion and choice. Sometimes, our cultural, familial, and social experiences cause us pain that we don’t know how to process, which stops us from living fully and freely. Our patterns and ways of responding interfere with making sense of our experiences. We need help sifting through our thoughts and emotions to get clarity. Recovery from depression is a healing process, whether from a chemical imbalance or in reaction to life. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, and feeling “other than.” My focus is on helping patients recover their sense of self and reclaim their life and community. This could be through healing trauma, integrating changes, finding a place to talk, or integrating psychedelic experiences (ketamine, psilocybin, etc). Individualized treatment is key. I help you work through your emotions, learned patterns, and ways of responding that cause discomfort, conflict, and pain so you can experience a sense of emotional flexibility and resilience. So often, bringing awareness to those parts of ourselves that we protect from others (for good reasons) can unlock our greatest gifts and sense of freedom.
