Navigating Mood Disorders with Compassion
From Struggle to Strength
Mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, are common challenges for individuals in Brentwood, Antioch, Oakley, Discovery Bay or Tracy in Northern California. Many people seek therapy to better understand the root causes of these feelings and learn how to manage them in healthy ways. The process of healing involves embracing these emotions, rather than avoiding or suppressing them, to create lasting change. I provide counseling that really works.
