Depression
Depression Therapy
​
Depression can feel like a heavy weather system that settles in and refuses to move. It slows your thinking. It drains your energy. It makes ordinary days feel like hard labor. You may wake up with a sense that life is happening far away from you, as if you are watching it through glass.
​
This is not weakness. It is not a failure of character. Depression is a shift in how the mind organizes experience. When it sets in, your thoughts become narrow, your body shuts down its natural drive, and your connection to the people and activities that matter most begins to fade. The worst part about depression is, like quicksand, the more you fight against it the harder it grips you. What can we do then?
​
We can help you break that pattern. We work together to restore your sense of direction, your ability to feel, and your capacity to act with purpose. My approach is practical, steady, and centered on building real momentum. We look at how your mind constructs meaning, how your body holds tension, and how your daily life keeps pulling you into the same loops. Little by little, a simple sense of agency returns, and the light of hope finds its way in.
​
You learn how to interrupt those loops that sap your strength and fuel the darkness. You learn how to notice and name what is happening in your internal life without being swallowed by it. You learn how to reconnect with the people and projects that once gave you strength.
Recovery is not quick, but it is entirely possible. With the right support, depression becomes less like a fog and more like weather you can read and move through. You can feel like yourself again. And you can begin to live with intention instead of exhaustion.

If you are ready to start, reach out. A conversation can open the way to a very different season of your life.
