Therapy for Depression and Anxiety

Schedule a consultation

Anxiety and depression can rob us of our ability to do the things that truly matter to us. They often show up together.

Do you stay busy or in control, even though anxiety never really lets you rest?


Maybe there’s been a specific stressor—a loss, a major transition, a period of uncertainty—that left you feeling more on edge than before. Or perhaps nothing obvious has happened, but over time you’ve noticed worry, tension, or a constant sense of unease creeping into your days.

You may be exhausted from trying to manage it on your own, frustrated that your mind won’t slow down, or discouraged by how easily small things start to feel overwhelming. Perhaps you feel stuck in overthinking, on high alert, or quietly worried about what will happen if you can’t get things to settle.

Maybe your stomach hurts, or you can’t sleep.



Do you keep going through the motions, even though you feel empty or tired inside?

Maybe there’s been a specific loss, disappointment, or prolonged period of stress that changed how connected or motivated you feel. Or perhaps nothing obvious has happened, but over time you’ve noticed a growing heaviness, numbness, or sense of disconnection settling in.

You may be worn down from pushing yourself to keep going, frustrated that things don’t feel meaningful the way they used to, or discouraged by how hard it is to find energy or interest. Perhaps you feel disconnected from others, from yourself, or quietly worried about whether this is just how things are now.

Therapy for anxiety and depression can address the following:

Understand how stress and hopelessness take hold

Anxiety and depression often pull the mind into patterns of worry, self-criticism, or rumination—especially around things you can’t fully control. In therapy, we slow these patterns down and begin to notice how thoughts, emotions, and reactions get “hooked” by stress. Understanding these patterns creates distance, so they have less power over how you feel and respond.

01

Reconnect with what actually matters to you

When anxiety or depression take over, it’s easy to lose touch with what gives your life meaning or direction. Therapy helps you identify your values—what you care about, what you want to stand for, and what kind of life feels worth moving toward. This provides a steadier compass, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

02

Move forward with intention and practical skills

Together, we focus on small, realistic actions that support the life you want to live, rather than waiting for anxiety or low mood to disappear first. This may include learning skills to manage intense emotions, relate differently to distressing thoughts, and respond more intentionally in daily situations. Over time, these shifts help you feel more capable, grounded, and engaged in your life.

03

You’re understandably skeptical that things can feel different, especially if anxiety or low mood have been part of your life for a long time. Still, it’s possible to relate to these experiences in new ways and move through your days with more steadiness, clarity, and choice.

My approach:

Anxiety and depression have a way of pulling your attention inward—toward worry, self-criticism, or a sense of heaviness that can shrink your world over time. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or feelings, my approach focuses on changing how you relate to them, so they have less control over your choices.

In therapy, we work on noticing when your mind gets hooked by stress or unhelpful stories, and gently creating more space around those experiences. From there, we clarify what truly matters to you—your values, priorities, and the kind of life you want to move toward, even when discomfort is present.

The goal isn’t to feel good all the time, but to live well. Together, we focus on building flexibility, learning practical skills for handling difficult moments, and taking meaningful steps forward that align with what you care about. Over time, anxiety and depression often become less central—not because they disappear, but because they no longer run your life.

FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS

  • Many people experience anxiety and depression together, or notice that one shifts into the other over time. Rather than focusing on labels, therapy looks at how worry, low mood, self-criticism, guilt/shame or disconnection are showing up in your life and affecting what matters to you. You don’t need to have it “figured out” before starting.

  • Yes. Even when anxiety or depression have been present for years, it’s possible to change how much influence they have over your life. Therapy focuses on building flexibility, awareness, and new ways of responding—so that these experiences no longer dictate your choices or limit your world.

  • No. Many people begin therapy feeling skeptical, tired, or unsure whether change is possible. Therapy doesn’t require optimism—it starts with where you are and works toward building momentum over time, even when motivation feels low.

  • The goal of therapy isn’t to eliminate thoughts or feelings, but to help you relate to them differently. When anxiety or low mood no longer control your decisions, they often become less overwhelming. Therapy focuses on helping you live well—even when difficult emotions are present.

  • Therapy may include noticing patterns in how your mind AND body respond to stress, learning skills to manage intense emotions, clarifying what matters to you, and taking meaningful steps forward in daily life. Sessions are collaborative and paced, with an emphasis on practical tools and real-world application.

  • Thoughts about wanting relief from pain, or about not wanting to exist, are more common than many people realize—especially when anxiety or depression feel overwhelming. These thoughts don’t mean you’re broken, and they don’t automatically mean you’re in danger, but they do deserve care and attention. Therapy can be a place to talk openly about these experiences and find ways to feel safer and more supported. If you’re ever feeling at immediate risk, it’s important to reach out for urgent support, such as calling 911, your local emergency number, or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
