Depression can show up in many different ways. Sometimes it feels like sadness and tears close to the surface. Other times it’s a heaviness that doesn’t lift, a dullness in everyday life, or a sense of moving through your days on autopilot—functioning, but not really feeling present. For some, it brings irritability or frustration. For others, it feels like emptiness, numbness, or a quiet disconnection from yourself and the people around you. On the outside you may still be doing what’s expected, while inside it can feel lonely, unseen, or hard to name.
Depression can also affect how you relate to yourself. It may bring a self-critical inner voice, difficulty feeling hopeful, or a sense that your world has become smaller and harder to access. However it shows up, depression often carries both pain and protection—parts of you that are struggling, and parts that are trying, in their own way, to help you cope.
However it might appear, this is a space where every part of your experience is welcome.
You are not defined by your symptoms, your past, other people’s expectations, or the beliefs that have taken root over time. Depression can be an important signal that something inside you deserves attention and care, and therapy offers a place to slow down, listen, and gently work through what has been in the way—and what may be trying to emerge.
In our work together, we’ll create space to better understand your experience, support what needs healing, and make room for what has felt out of reach—connection, steadiness, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Over time, many people find themselves reconnecting with moments of vitality, meaning, and a sense of being more fully alive.
