Depression can leave you feeling isolated, disconnected, and alone, even when surrounded by people who care. It can feel as if no one truly understands your experience, trapping you in cycles of sadness, hopelessness, and self-doubt. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can work step by step to uncover the roots of your depression and build a path toward healing, resilience, and renewed hope.

Depression often manifests as harsh self-criticism or self-punishment, where past mistakes or perceived failures feel overwhelming. These thoughts can fuel guilt, shame, and hopelessness, deepening depressive symptoms. Therapy helps you recognize these patterns, break the cycle, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and the world.

Depression can stem from disruptions in developing a healthy sense of self, often linked to early caregiving experiences, and can be triggered by later-life stressors such as loss, trauma, or major life changes. With guided support, you can work through these challenges, restore balance, and gradually reclaim motivation and joy in daily life.

Depression is often connected to fragile self-esteem and difficulty managing emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy focuses on rebuilding a supportive internal framework, strengthening self-worth, and cultivating emotional resilience. Over time, therapy can help reduce depressive symptoms, restore confidence, and empower you to create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
