Practical & Personal
therapy for overthinkers & overdoers managing depression, adhd, anxiety, and maladaptive perfectionism
You have read the books, tried the things, checked the boxes…yet are still depressed. Maybe therapy is something you have considered, but are skeptical. That’s fair. Getting started in counseling can be overwhelming for sure, and what’s on the other side is a life you haven’t expected (in a good way). Dare I say you might see things from a fresh (ahem…NOVEL) perspective!

Everyone will feel depressed or anxious at some point in life, but not everyone will be formally diagnosed from the big purple book. Depression can look like losing motivation despite being a high-achiever. Depression can feel like a constant urge to cry or numb out. It can appear as piles of laundry, untouched to-do lists, or having everything done because it “has” to be.
Feeling depressed can feel like nothing at all, a surge of resentment, anger, hopelessness, indecision, or worthlessness. Depression can be a reaction to your environment, a result of your biology, or both.
Bring your crappy mood. I got you.
We will work together to alleviate the factors impacting your mood and increase effective coping and communication skills. You will not only be able to articulate what’s going on but have a plan to feel better.

Talk it Out &
Do Your Way Out
Novel Counseling uses concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Radically Open DBT, and Brainspotting to work through stuck points. Depending on what you need, we can make sessions highly focused and structured or we can go with the flow and have these concepts in mind.
I’m a big believer in not only having a deeper understanding of yourself but also having your behaviors shift as a result. You will not get another list of shoulds, but a variety of options to do life in a way that makes sense to you.
