About Me

I am a life coach working with people who suffer from depression. My own personal success story about overcoming major depression has inspired me to share my story with others -- my first-hand knowledge of depression, coping strategies, management, and treatments. I believe that someone suffering from depression can benefit tremendously from self-inquiry, psychotherapy and practicing mindfulness. I have a degree from Hunter College where I majored in cultural anthropology. Thus, I have a deep respect for and awareness of each one's cultural background.

Three Mental Health Goals

1.   Don't be a robot, be spontaneous.  You have awareness.  Don't be automatic all the time.

2.   Be mindful.  Stop, look and listen.  Slow down and pay attention to what's in front of you.  Be aware of the self.

3.   Practice positive reinforcement.  Jog your memory for times when something small but good happened.  For example, when something went right just as planned, or when you blurted out something nice, or when you felt at peace watching the swaying of the tree on a clear day.  Relish the moments.

This is how you re-wire your brain.
