Therapy for Depression
Rediscover meaning, energy, and hope.
What Is Depression?
When you’re living with depression, it can feel like the world has lost its color. Everyday tasks start to feel heavy. You might withdraw from people you care about or move through your days feeling numb or disconnected. Depression can affect how you think, sleep, eat, and relate to others—sometimes even making it hard to remember what joy used to feel like.
Depression isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s often a complex response to stress, loss, trauma, biology, or the pressures of modern life. It can take many forms: persistent sadness, emptiness, irritability, or a deep fatigue that doesn’t lift with rest. Whatever it looks like for you, it’s important to know that depression is treatable—and you don’t have to face it alone.
How Therapy Can Help With Depression
Therapy provides a place to slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we can look at the patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that keep you feeling stuck and begin to shift them.
Cognitive and behavioral strategies can help you challenge the internal voice that fuels hopelessness. At the same time, insight-oriented and interpersonal approaches can uncover the deeper sources of meaning, connection, and purpose that depression often obscures.
Over time, therapy can help you reconnect with your strengths, regain emotional balance, and experience life with more clarity and vitality. It’s not just about coping—it’s about rebuilding your relationship with yourself and the world around you.
Why Work With Me
I’ve spent more than 20 years helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, and other challenges in both outpatient and residential treatment settings. My approach integrates evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy with a deeper, reflective focus inspired by psychodynamic and Jungian traditions.
Clients often describe our work as collaborative, grounding, and action-oriented. I aim to create a space where you can be both understood and challenged—a place where insight leads naturally to action. Together, we’ll look not only at symptom relief but also at what your depression may be revealing about unmet needs, unexpressed emotions, or unrealized possibilities in your life.
Whether you’re seeking practical tools or deeper self-understanding, I’ll help you find a path that feels sustainable and true to who you are.
