Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated, and not your usual self?
Do you lack pleasure or interest in things you once found enjoyable?
Do you feel down, sad, or depressed often?
Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?
I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep, and be alone.
I hate who I am these days.
I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
I feel numb and indifferent toward most things.
I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
My life and the world around me feel dark. I hate it, but I don’t know how to change it.
If any version of these thoughts has crossed your mind and you no longer feel like yourself, you may be experiencing depression.
Depression is incredibly common, and you are not alone. You may simply be struggling with an internal system that needs more care, support, and guidance than you’ve been able to access on your own.
Symptoms of Depression
Depression looks different for everyone. Some of the more common symptoms include:
Feeling down, hopeless, or chronically sad
Losing interest in hobbies, social events, or things you used to enjoy
Experiencing low energy or fatigue
Oversleeping or struggling with insomnia
Changes in appetite, such as overeating or forgetting to eat
Difficulty concentrating or feeling mentally foggy
Feeling like a failure or constantly disappointing others
Isolating from loved ones
Avoiding self-care or basic responsibilities
Feeling tearful or crying more often than usual
Using alcohol or other substances to numb emotions
If you see yourself in any of these, therapy can help.
How Therapy for Depression Works
Depression can feel like a fog that won’t lift, and sometimes it can be hard to even imagine feeling better. But relief is possible. Through therapy, you can:
Identify root causes of your depression, whether emotional, relational, or biological
Learn tools for emotional regulation and stress management
Rebuild confidence and self-worth
Create healthy routines and boundaries
Reconnect with yourself and the things that bring you joy
Begin practicing self-compassion instead of self-criticism
I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) practices, Mindfulness practices, Somatic Experiencing, and trauma-informed approaches to support healing. When helpful, I also collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care doctors, and other professionals to ensure that you are receiving comprehensive care.
Change is Possible
Therapy for depression is not about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you understand yourself more fully, reconnect with what matters, and learn how to show up for yourself in a way that feels honest and compassionate. Therapy is a space to feel supported and become equipped with tools that support strong mental health.
