Depression
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Depression?
Depression can make even the simplest parts of life feel heavy. It can slow your energy, cloud your thinking, and disconnect you from the people and activities that once brought comfort or joy. Many thoughtful, high-achieving individuals struggle with depression in ways that aren’t always obvious from the outside — especially when they’re used to “pushing through,” staying busy, or taking care of everyone else first.
Depression often isn’t just about sadness. It can feel like numbness, disconnection, loss of motivation, irritability, or exhaustion. You might find it harder to meet your own expectations, to get out of bed, to focus, or simply to feel like yourself.
Modern life also piles on its own pressures — career demands, perfectionism, family responsibilities, social comparison, and the rhythm of daily stress. Over time, these forces can contribute to emotional burnout, leaving you overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward.
You’re not alone in this. Depression is treatable, and with support, it’s possible to rebuild clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of meaning in your life.
Do You Identify With Any of These?
You may be experiencing depression if:
You feel persistently sad, numb, disconnected, or low
You’ve lost interest in things that once brought enjoyment
You feel exhausted, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by daily tasks
You struggle to focus, make decisions, or follow through
You feel isolated from others, even when you’re not physically alone
You experience irritability, frustration, or low frustration tolerance
Your sleep or appetite has noticeably changed
You feel hopeless, empty, or unsure of your direction
You’re functioning on the outside, but struggling quietly on the inside
How Therapy Helps
In therapy, we create space to understand the why behind what you’re feeling — not through judgment or pressure, but through compassion, curiosity, and clarity. Together, we explore the emotional, biological, and relational factors contributing to your depression, helping you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface.
We then build personalized tools to help you reconnect with yourself: strengthening emotional regulation, addressing negative thought patterns, rebuilding motivation, supporting nervous system regulation, and reconnecting you with meaning, purpose, and agency.
Over time, therapy helps you feel more grounded, more capable, and more in touch with the parts of yourself that may have gone quiet under the weight of depression.
You don’t have to move through this alone. With the right support, things can become lighter, clearer, and more manageable — little by little, day by day.
How We Work With Depression
We take an attuned, individualized approach to depression. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, we look at what your experience is telling us — your history, your emotional patterns, your relationships, your nervous system, and the expectations you carry. From there, we integrate evidence-based techniques with a supportive, relational style to help create meaningful, sustainable change.
Together, we’ll help you build internal resources like emotional clarity, self-compassion, behavioral activation, and psychological flexibility. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s helping you move through life with more steadiness, resilience, and renewed connection to yourself, even when things feel uncertain.
