I treat depression using traditional approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) combined with a spiritual, holistic perspective. We collaborate with both eastern and western medicine proividers to give truly well rounded care. Whether it is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic, OCD, PTSD, bi-polar or major depression we work with our clients to treat the person not the dis-ease. In order to provide our clients with the most flexibility, I provide online counseling throughout the state of Florida.
Someone once described depression to me as this black room that you just can’t seem to get out of. At first, you may try to look for the door, but after a while, you are just too damned tired to even try to get out of this dark room. So you just sit there, waiting for either the light to come on or the door to open. Sometimes, you get so tired of waiting you sleep a ton, other times you get so frustrated with the lack of being able to find the way out of the room, that you just sit there and cry. The thing is, that oftentimes, the door feels like it is locked from the outside, and no matter what you do, it won’t be opened. Can you relate? If you can…you are likely experiencing depression. There are lots of treatable strategies for depression, that don’t have to include medication, including acupuncture, diet changes, and exercise. Call today for your free 15-minute consultation, let’s see what works for you.

“Asking for help is the first step. You are more precious to this world than you’ll ever know.”
There are a lot of reasons we experience both anxiety and depression:
Sometimes it is due to physical such as a hormone imbalance, sometimes it is our thoughts, sometimes it is due to learned behaviors, and sometimes it is due to over-feeling the world around you. A lot of the time, it is due to a combination of all. As a skilled virtual therapist In Florida, I can help you get to the root cause.
