It sounds like you're describing feelings that can be incredibly tough to deal with. Experiencing sadness, low energy, negative thoughts, and isolation can be overwhelming. When physical symptoms like shaking, increased heart rate, or tightness in the chest appear, they can amplify feelings of embarrassment and shame, making it even harder to cope. I want you to know that you're not alone in feeling this way, and it's okay to seek help. Together, we can explore the underlying causes of these emotions and work towards finding ways to regain your interest in the activities you once enjoyed.

My approach is practical and focused—I use proven methods like CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to help clients make real progress. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and work with each person to set clear goals. What stands out in my work is the balance between structure and warmth: I offer tools that work, while also creating space for reflection, growth, and emotional healing. Clients often share that they feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
Feeling ashamed or embarrassed about your depression and anxiety is completely understandable, but it doesn’t have to be this way. I’ve created a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. We’ll move at a pace that’s comfortable for you, and I’ll never pressure you to discuss anything you’re not ready to talk about.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. Together, we look at patterns that may be causing stress or sadness and work on ways to change them. CBT is practical and focused on current problems. I use tools like journaling, goal setting, and coping strategies to help clients feel better and make progress. I also track changes over time to make sure the therapy is working.
In my practice, I use mindfulness-based therapy to help clients become more aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment. This approach encourages slowing down, noticing the present moment, and responding calmly rather than reacting automatically. I guide clients through breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and mindful reflection to reduce stress and improve emotional balance. Mindfulness supports clients in managing anxiety, depression, and life changes by building self-awareness and inner calm.
I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients focus on their strengths and build solutions, rather than staying stuck in problems. This short-term approach is goal-oriented and encourages small, realistic steps toward change. In sessions, we explore what’s already working, set clear goals, and identify practical actions clients can take right away. It’s especially helpful for managing life transitions, boosting confidence, and creating positive momentum.
