Therapy for Depression & Anxiety

When Your Mind Won’t Let You Rest—You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone

You wake up already tired.

Your brain loops through what ifs and should haves.

You feel wired and worn out all at once—like your body’s on edge but your motivation is nowhere to be found.

Maybe you're holding it together on the outside, but inside it’s a different story.

Maybe nothing feels terrible, exactly—but something just feels off.

✨ If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken.
✨ You’re not failing.
✨ And you’re not alone.

When the System Is Overloaded, It’s Hard to Feel Like Yourself

Anxiety and depression aren’t character flaws.

They’re your body and brain trying to manage more than they were meant to carry.

We all have a range where we can think clearly, respond calmly, and feel connected to ourselves and others. That range is called the Window of Tolerance—and when we’re outside of it, everything gets harder.

• Too much stress can push you into anxiety—racing thoughts, tension, panic

• Too little energy or support can lead to shutdown—numbness, fatigue, hopelessness

Therapy helps you expand that window, so life doesn’t feel like a constant swing between overwhelm and emptiness.

Depression: It’s Not Just Sadness

Depression can show up quietly. It might look like:

• Feeling emotionally flat or disconnected

• Losing interest in things that used to matter

• Struggling with motivation or energy

• A loud inner critic, or constant feelings of guilt or failure

• Feeling invisible—or like a burden

• Going through the motions, but not really feeling anything

💡 Depression isn’t laziness. It’s your system hitting a kind of “freeze mode”—and it’s trying to protect you from something that feels too big to hold.

We can work with that gently, at your pace.

Anxiety: When You Can’t Shut Off Your Brain

Anxiety often shows up as:

• Constant overthinking or running scenarios in your mind

• Trouble sleeping or relaxing

• Physical symptoms like a racing heart, tense muscles, or stomach issues

• Worrying about things going wrong—even if they seem small

• Feeling like you need to plan everything just to feel okay

• Replaying conversations and second-guessing yourself

💡 Anxiety isn’t about being “too sensitive” or dramatic. It’s your body trying to keep you safe—but when it can’t find the off switch, it starts to wear you down.

In therapy, we’ll help your nervous system recognize what’s actually dangerous—and what’s just familiar stress.

What If You’re Dealing with Both?

It’s more common than you think. Many people feel both anxious and depressed. You might:

• Worry constantly—then crash from exhaustion

• Feel overwhelmed—then completely numb

• Try to stay on top of everything—while quietly feeling like nothing matters

💡 These patterns make perfect sense. And they can change.

What Therapy Actually Looks Like

We’ll do more than just talk about your symptoms. Together, we’ll get curious about what’s going on beneath them—and build tools that help you move through it.

Here’s what that process can include:

🌿 Regulating Your Body and Nervous System

When your body is stuck in stress or shutdown, it’s hard to think clearly. We’ll explore tools like grounding, movement, breathwork, and simple rituals that help your body feel a bit safer in the moment.

🧠 Understanding Your Thought Patterns

We’ll gently examine the stories your brain tells you—about yourself, your worth, your safety—and begin to shift the ones that are keeping you stuck.

👶 Tending to Younger Parts of You

Sometimes our current struggles have roots in earlier experiences. Through inner child work and reparenting practices, we’ll offer those parts the care, protection, and compassion they didn’t get the first time around.

🔧 Building Skills That Actually Work

We’ll develop strategies that make sense for your life. That might mean learning how to interrupt spirals, manage your energy, ask for help, set boundaries, or reconnect to what matters—without pushing yourself past your limit.

This work is both processing and practice. We’ll explore what hurts and build what helps.

This Is for You If…

✔ You’re tired of being in survival mode
✔ You want tools that don’t just sound good, but actually work for your body and brain
✔ You’re overwhelmed but also kind of numb
✔ You’re done trying to fix yourself, and ready to try something more compassionate
✔ You’re not sure where to start—but you know you need to start somewhere

Let’s Widen the Window Together

You don’t need to be at rock bottom to ask for support.

You don’t have to prove your pain or have it all figured out.

✨ You just need to show up.
✨ You just need to begin.
