Depression does not always look like falling apart. Many people continue working, caring for others, and appearing capable while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, discouraged, numb, irritable, or overwhelmed.
Therapy for depression can help you better understand what is happening internally, identify patterns that maintain depression, develop healthier coping strategies, and begin rebuilding meaning, energy, and emotional connection.
Common Signs of Depression
- Low mood
- Loss of interest or pleasure
- Fatigue
- Sleep difficulties
- Low motivation
- Irritability
- Isolation
- Self-doubt
- Emotional numbness
- Grief and loss
- Burnout
- Difficulty finding meaning or purpose
My Approach to Depression Therapy
My approach combines evidence-based therapy with deeper psychological work. Treatment may include CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, behavioral activation, emotional regulation work, and exploration of longstanding patterns that may contribute to depression.
The goal is not simply to talk about depression, but to help you develop insight, resilience, practical tools, and a stronger sense of direction.
Depression in High-Functioning Adults
Many high-functioning adults, professionals, men over 40, older adults, and caregivers experience depression quietly. Therapy provides a confidential place to be honest about what is happening without having to keep performing or minimizing your experience.
