Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with substantive experience in clinical settings. After experiencing how impactful depression and anxiety were during my teen years, I dedicated my career to helping others overcome feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Our minds can get stuck in a vicious, negative cycle that keeps us stagnant. Overthinking and racing thoughts can be overwhelming. Depressed moods can make us feel stuck. Constantly shifting moods can be exhausting. But there are ways to help lift ourselves out of the negative thought patterns that drive our emotions and behaviors. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, symptoms that feel insurmountable can become problems of the past.
