Depression is much more than sadness—it’s a profound sense of disconnection and heaviness that can touch every aspect of your life. It often feels like an invisible weight, making it hard to find joy, energy, or meaning in even the things you used to love. You might feel stuck, hopeless, or like you’re just going through the motions. Depression can impact your sleep, appetite, relationships, and sense of self-worth, making it feel like an all-encompassing struggle. Therapy is a space to untangle the complex web of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that feed into depression. We’ll also explore the factors contributing to your experience.

When experiencing depression, it is important to connect with a therapist who is capable of navigating the complex layers of what may be troubling us. I view depression holistically, acknowledging that it is often a convergence of psychological, emotional, and physical symptoms that can often look unique to each person who experiences it. As a psychotherapist, I am specialized in helping clients to understand the root factors that are likely contributing to periods of low mood, an absence of motivation, or hopelessness. Through processes of self-inquiry I help clients to develop strategies and reconnect with a greater sense of meaning that can feel lost during periods of depression.
