If you’re not quite sure if depression is something you’re dealing with, we can explore that together.

My first focus is getting to know you as an individual. Therapy is built on trust and safety. We will identify your symptoms and establish what to work on.
In the beginning, there will be a lot of exploration of your lived experience. It may take a few sessions or more to talk about what brings you to therapy. Once we learn more about your depression, we’ll discover what techniques you will benefit from.
Exploring how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected are often an important part of therapy for depression. We will also consider what is happening in your environment and communities and how those areas are impacting your depression. Therapy helps you find the connected threads of your life and how each thread influences the others.
As an Orlando therapist for depression, I will meet you where you are at and support you in getting to where you want to be.
Ready to Start? This is How We Do it…
You book a phone consultation here. We’ll chat for 15 minutes to get your questions answered and to make sure we’re a great fit for one another. You’re welcome to ask about my approach, my values, my qualifications, or anything else that would feel relevant to your care. If you’re feeling good, we’ll schedule your first session during this call! Virtual sessions and in-office sessions are available.
In the first session (called an Intake) we will discuss your current concerns and goals in-depth. We will explore your health history and anything else relevant to you as a person. We will establish your goals and treatment focus.
We’ll maintain sessions on a weekly or biweekly basis. As we go, we’ll assess how the process is moving along and make any necessary changes. Therapy is a collaborative relationship and I want you to feel that you’re getting the most out of it!
