Depression Therapy
If you feel a loss of pleasure, or interest in activities that once felt enjoyable, have trouble with sleep, or appetite you may have depression.
Understanding depression
Depression isn’t a sign of weakness. It's a real medical condition that affects about 1 out of every 5 adults in the U.S. But only 40% of people suffering from depression ask for professional help.
Many of my clients keep functioning—at work, at home, in relationships—while feeling a loss of pleasure in their lives. Therapy helps clarify what the depression is connected to and what needs to change.
For some clients, depression is connected to long-standing relationship challenges and attachment styles—how you learned to handle support, disappointment, conflict, and self-worth.
Depression can overlap with anxiety and stress.
Common patterns of depression
Depression can develop slowly and become chronic:
- Emotional shutdown or numbness
- Withdrawal from relationships, activities, or goals
- Harsh self-criticism and doubt
- Low energy, low follow-through, and “what's the point?” thoughts
- Resignation—going through the motions without feeling connected
Who depression therapy helps
This work can help if you’re dealing with:
- Persistent low mood
- Loss of motivation or interest, even in things you “should” enjoy
- Feelings of worthlessness, shame, or self-criticism
- Emotional numbness, detachment, or disconnection
- Depression related to life transitions, divorce, breakup, or work stress
- Burnout that has shifted into shutdown
If you’re not sure whether it’s depression, anxiety, or burnout, therapy helps you choose the right direction.
Therapy approach for depression
My approach is insight-oriented and practical. We look at the patterns beneath the surface: self-talk, relationship dynamics, emotional avoidance, old coping strategies, and the “rules” you’ve lived by.
The goal is not to force positivity. It’s to build emotional clarity, internal steadiness, and momentum— so you can feel more like yourself again.
