Depression is a very complex issue and it can impact your life in so many different ways. Trying to get through depression issues by yourself is never going to be the optimal solution.

An Emeryville-area counselor can help you to make the progress that you are desiring. They will listen to your problems and can also provide you with counsel. Professionals like this know what it is like to feel depressed and they can help you to cope with what is happening in your life. You can get through this tough time and will be able to enjoy those sunny days once again.

I am a licensed psychologist in California with 20 years of professional work experience in the mental health field. For the last seven years I have been working as a prison psychologist at California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in the psychiatric inpatient program. Through this experience I have gained an extensive knowledge base in treating trauma, complex trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation and suicidality, serious mental illness, and severe personality disorders. In general, I find that clients seem to open-up quite easily in working with me. Receiving mental health treatment works best when a trusting relationship between practitioner and client is built on a platform of confidentiality and a non-judgmental approach to each client. I also believe that not one size fits all in creating a working relationship and a little creativity that is often not taught in schools is used to meet the needs of each individual person. While most of us have the common experience of facing life’s phases and challenges each person has their own subjective experience and perception that needs to be validated. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
