Depression therapy

If you have been feeling persistently sad, hopeless, or disconnected from the things you used to enjoy, therapy can help. Other signs include changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, low energy, or withdrawing from friends and activities. You do not need to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out.

Depression therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to understand what you are experiencing and develop personalized strategies to help you feel better. Sessions may include exploring your thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns that keep you stuck, and building skills to manage difficult emotions. I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs and pace.

Everyone's journey is different. Some people notice shifts in how they feel within a few weeks, while others benefit from longer term support. The timeline depends on factors like the severity of your symptoms, your personal goals, and how consistently we meet. I check in regularly to make sure our work together is helping.

Yes. Depression that has lingered for a long time can absolutely improve with the right support. Long standing depression often requires patience and a personalized approach, but change is possible. Many people who have felt stuck for years find relief and reconnection through therapy.

I draw from several evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I do not believe in a one size fits all method, so I adapt my approach based on what resonates with you and what helps you make progress.

I often suggest skill based practices to try between sessions because healing happens in your daily life, not just in our time together. These are not worksheets or busy work. Instead, they are personalized exercises designed to help you apply what we discuss. If homework does not feel helpful to you, we can adjust.

That is completely normal and more common than you might think. Depression does not always have an obvious cause, and you do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Part of our work together is gently exploring what might be contributing to how you feel.

Young adulthood comes with unique pressures like navigating school, career decisions, relationships, and figuring out who you are apart from your family or upbringing. I specialize in working with young women during this stage of life and understand the specific challenges you face. My approach reflects that understanding.

We start with a free 15 minute consultation call so we can make sure we are a good fit. In the first couple of sessions, we get to know each other and I learn about what brought you to therapy. From there, we set goals together so our work is focused on what matters most to you.

Yes. I offer both online and in person sessions for clients in the Lake Mary, Florida area. Many people find that online therapy fits more easily into their schedules while still providing the same quality of care and connection as meeting in person.
