Don’t allow sadness today to eclipse your hope for tomorrow.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, and EMDR therapist serving BIPOC women in Colorado and Texas.  

Step out of the quicksand of depression.

“Everyone else seems so together.”

“I planned to go, but I overslept...again.”

“I’m tired all the time.”

“Nothing in my life has turned out like I planned.”

“When do I get to be happy?”

If you are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, uninspired, and unmotivated, therapy for depression can help.

Depression turns happiness into fake news.

  • Perhaps you’ve lost interest in activities and hobbies that used to bring you joy. 

  • Perhaps you find yourself pretending to have fun while doing things that used to actually be fun. 

  • Perhaps people that once revitalized you, now irritate you just by breathing.

Depression makes you ghost your own life.

  • Perhaps you would rather veg out with Netflix than spend time with family or friends. 

  • Perhaps you’ve slept through an important event, presentation, or exam.

  • Perhaps you often miss work or school because you catch every virus that circulates.

Come out from under the covers.

  • Life can be an entirely new experience without depression holding you down. 

  • Imagine waking up well rested and ready to conquer your day. 

  • Imagine looking forward to social occasions that involve friends, family, and other loved ones. 

  • Imagine throwing your head back and belly-laughing at a funny joke.

  • Together we can work to find the things that depression has taken from you. I will gently and compassionately challenge negative thinking patterns. I will offer you an opportunity to think, speak, and live life in a new way. Together we can move you incrementally towards a value-driven life, free from depression.

Participate fully in life again.
