 Depression can make life feel heavy and colorless. You might find yourself moving through the motions, tired, unmotivated, and disconnected from things that used to bring you joy. Maybe your thoughts are harsh or critical, telling you that you’re not good enough or that things will never change. Some days it feels hard to get out of bed or focus. Other days you function just fine on the outside, but inside there’s a quiet numbness or sadness you can’t explain. You might feel lonely even around people you care about, or irritable and short-tempered for no clear reason.

Depression can be subtle or intense, but either way, it’s exhausting to carry alone. In therapy, we’ll work together to help you reconnect with yourself, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and take small, meaningful steps toward feeling more alive and engaged.

How therapy helps

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” global_colors_info=”{}”]

We’ll look at what is sustaining your low mood—thought patterns, behavior cycles, stressors, and biology—and tailor a plan rooted in CBT, behavioral activation, and mindfulness. You’ll learn how to shift self‑talk, rebuild momentum with small meaningful actions, and reconnect with what gives life texture and purpose. When appropriate, I coordinate with psychiatrists or physicians as part of a whole‑person approach.

What sessions look like

Early sessions focus on relief and stabilization: sleep hygiene, routines, and compassionate structure. We’ll set achievable steps that begin to lift energy, while exploring the story beneath the symptoms—losses, transitions, and pressures you’ve carried. You’ll leave with specific practices for between sessions.

Therapy is available in person in Houston and via telehealth for convenience.
