Depression & Anxiety Counseling
Helping children, teens, and adults in Washington State
Are you stuck and feel unsure about how to find your way through your depression and anxiety?
Maybe you feel numb, or the thought of engaging in activities has you feeling anxious. You aren’t enjoying the things you normally do, and evening thinking about starting on something is laborious. Maybe you notice you are more irritable or reactive, and not moving through life as you expected.
Whatever it is that you are experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact in every facet of your life:
You feel fatigued and your body is showing signs of distress
It is hard to concentrate and keep up with life
You avoid situations and social activities

You may experience unwanted negative thoughts about yourself, your relationships, and/or your life and future.

Treatment Modalities
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a proven treatment method for Depression and Anxiety that focuses on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to our distress.
For a better understanding on CBT and how it works, watch the short video.
I can also answer any question you may have in a consultation call or in a session.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a great modality for learning and remembering practical tools to support emotional and social well-being. It focuses on building skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
I love DBT for its simplicity, and easily accessible tools. For a quick brief about DBT, watch the video.
